[Sca-cooks] pastry

[Decker, Terry D.]

If you find one of these, I want to know.

The earliest medieval European cookbook is 13th Century, so a 12th Century
recipe is a little hard to find.  There may be something in Anthimus or
Apicius, but those predate the 12th Century by 500 to 600 years and really
didn't get passed around until the 15th Century.  If documentation is a
requirement, you may need to use a 14th Century pastry and extrapolate its
probable use in the 12th Century.

Also, there are a number of different types of pastries.  What kind of
application are you trying to do?
