Please be aware though, that the recipes in this book do not derive

directly from any period Polish recipes but rather are recreations
using other sources.
You can find more material about this book in this file in the
FOOD-BY-REGION section of the Florilegium:

I'm not sure how good the recipes are. The only one I've tried was
the saffron wafers and although they tasted good, I couldn't get them
to stick together. They kept coming apart in my wafer iron.
