I do not see such a recipe in "To the Queen's Taste".  Do you need 
*any* period recipe for marzipan, or does it have to be from a 
particular time and place?  There are recipes in such varied 
sources as:
"A Daily Exercise for Ladies and Gentlewomen" (English, 1617)
"The Medieval Kitchen" (from Martino, Italian, 15th cent.)
"Libro de Guisados" (Spanish, 1529)
"Libre de totes maneres de confits" (Catalan, 14th cent.)
Digbie (English, 1669)

And I'm sure there are others, especially if you're willing to go post-
period.


Let me know what you need, and I'll send it out.
