[Sca-cooks] Re: A Pennsic Shopping List?

Johnnae llyn Lewis sends greetings.

Actually there's more than one might think, not in
English but ....

You ought to consider the Hieatt/Grewe volume Libellus de
Arte Coquinaria: An Early Northern Cookbook. It's been
discussed here several times within the last month.
The manuscripts of which there are 4 include Danish
and Icelandic. It doesn't have redacted recipes, but the
old recipes are fairly simple to follow.
Also has glossary and bibliography.

Also take a look at Henry Notaker's website. He's at:

http://www.notaker.com/

The site is: Henry Notaker's Old Cookbooks and Food History.
Notaker writes on culinary matters and food history, especially
Norwegian foods. And he does write about old manuscripts and cookbooks
that if not quite pre-1600 are close. He has traced Danish language
printed cookbooks back to 1616 for instance.

It's a good website to bookmark and return to from time to time.
