<<<< Ras offered:
The second edition of Pleyn Delit contains less errors than the first and The
Medieval Kitchen contains less errors than some others. Cindy Renfrow's book
Take a Thousand Eggs contains even less but I would suggest that if you could
only have 2 medieval cook books in your kitchen that you purchase Coraiadoc's
Collection of Medieval and Renaissance Cookbooks, Vol. I and II instead of
any of the modern cookbooks containing period recipes suggestions. His
volumes with give a dozen plus actual medieval or SCA period cookbooks at a
total cost of less than 1 of any of the other books. >>>>>
And whilst you are scraping up the funds (Under $25.00) for those two wonderful volumes of Cariadoc's, there are numerous online versions with which one can work. We are in a GREAT age of technological convenience. Given only two books, I would agree with Ras that these are the must-haves. You get primary text either original language or translated on a whole heap of sources.
