SC - Medieval Greece

[TG]

<< I have been looking all over the internet for info on what life was
like in the Greek middle ages--food,clothing, occupations, daily life,
etc--for a book I'm writing, but I haven't found anything. >>

I fear, then you will have to go the _traditional_ way and look for
books and articles ;-)

Here are some candidates, that might help:

Paviot, J.: Cuisine grecque et cuisine turque selon l'expérience des
voyageurs (XVe-XVIe siècles). In: Bryer, A./ Ursinus, M. (eds.):
Manzikert to Lepanto. The Byzantine World and the Turks 1071-1571.
Amsterdam 1991 (Byzantinische Forschungen 16).

You might want to look for some of the works of Martin Crusius,
Professor in Tuebingen around 1600, who was (one of) the first to do
studies of the culture and language of the newer Greece: the first
philhellenist of his time. (But you need to know at least three
languages: Latin, Greek, and German.) 

Databases like copac.ac.uk point to titles worth checking, e.g.:

There seems to be more literature on food and cookery in classical
antiquity.
