For those less than versed in these kinds of things, what/where is
"Catalunya"?

Wonderful. Please let us know when it is available on either the web or
in print form.

While much of this material may be known to you, perhaps some of this
will be new. In the FOOD-BY-REGION section of my Florilegium is a file
of the best messages from this group having to do with Spanish food:
fd-Spain-msg     (102K) 12/ 4/00    Food of medieval Spain. Cookbooks.

And in the new FOOD-MANUSCRIPTS section:
Guisados1-art    (220K)  5/28/01    A translation of Ruperto de Nola's
                                       1529 "Libre del Coch", part 1 of
2
                                       by Lady Brighid ni Chiarain.
Guisados2-art    (116K)  5/28/01    "Libre del Coch". part 2 of 2.
                                       Lenten recipes.
  (This is the file that several other messages have mentioned today.
This file just went "live" this past weekend.

If you have any comments, criticisms or suggestions about these files,
please feel free to forward them to this list for discussion, or to
Lady Brighid or myself by email.
