After the discussion a while ago on this, I thought people might be
interested in William Woys Weaver's statement in his article about Maria
Dembinska in the most recent PPC: "In fact, there are no manuscript recipes
surviving from medieval Poland...."
This is a great issue, by the way. It also has a biblography of Danish cook
books (1616-1800.)
Further, in Andrew Dalby's article on mastic, he refers in a footnote to
"Andrew Dalby, Flavours of Byzantium, Prospect Books, forthcoming." Since Mr
Dalby is the author of Siren Feasts and Classical Cooking, as well as a new
book, Dangerous Taste: The Story of Spices, this is both hopeful and
tantalizing. Unfortunately, Flavours of Byzantium is NOT on the list of
forthcoming books at the back of PPC, so its projected pub date
is..um..unclear. *sigh*
