[Sca-cooks] Re: Tastes of Anglo-Sadon Engkand

[Ro]

I would have to disagree with Regina on this one.

The author lists a bibliography, makes available several pages of notes, and
a list of both ingredients, with the modern name, the name in old English ,
the source for the name and what she used if the indicated ingredient was
unavailable/toxic.

She states in her intro that one of her goals was to produce recipes that an
average cook could produce and a modern diner could enjoy  She did so within
the confines of archeological finds indicating available foodstuffs.  In my
opinion, she achieved her goals.

Is this a cookbook I would base a feast on and bill it period?  Not in the
slightest. It is, IMHO, interesting, well done, the food produced is
definitely peri-oid and more than worth the modest price tag.

And it beats the stuffing (OFC) out of Fabulous Feasts....
