[Sca-cooks] Book lists and reviews

[Stefan li Rous]

Randall Cook (was Avraham) asked:
> I have Mistress Jaelle's booklist - has she updated it recently with
> new publications? If not, will she? If not, will someone else?
Not that I know of. She has only updated the original list I had once.

However, I think she almost doubled it then. That was less than two
years ago.


Hers is not the only bibliography of such books available, even on

the Florilegium. It is however one of the most comprehensive and she
annotates which ones are good and which ones are not.
Take a look at some of the other files in the FOOD-BOOKS section for
many more descriptions and reviews of food books. Some of these are
messages captured from this list and others; Some are other reviews
and bibliographies.
Here are a *few* examples:

books-food-msg   (118K)  5/ 9/02    Books about food. Not cookbooks.

cookbooks3-bib    (20K) 10/14/98    Cookbook bibliography by Lady Allison.

cb-novices-msg    (13K) 10/14/98    Cookbooks for those new to medieval cooking.
