Have you found our _Miscellany_ yet? It has, among other stuff, some
bread recipes at the beginning of the recipe section, and desserts
etc. near the end, including pastries. It exists in hardcopy and the
current version is also webbed in pdf format at:

www.daviddfriedman.com/Medieval/miscellany_pdf/Miscellany.htm

There is also an older edition webbed in html on Greg Lindahl's site.

a feast a little over a week ago)
