Wonderful!  I had heard a rumor that there was a group starting in Estonia;
it's nice to know that ti's true!

There are several excellent websites which address cooking in the Middle Ages
in general, although I'm not sure aobut meat in particular.  Let me check my
bookmarks...

Probably the best place to start is the Medieval and Renaissance Food
Homepage, at http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/food.html
This links to most if not all of the really good cooking and food websites
out there, many of which have medieval recipes on them, many of them again
often worked out to what modern people call a recipe (exact amounts, times,
temperatures, etc, as opposed to the "take some of this and some of that and
do this to it and then cook it till it be enough" nature of most period
recipes).  Many of the medieval meat recipes are so good that I use them for
cooking at home as well as events.
