Related question of my own: is Pleyn Delit a good book to give a
fellow-cook who hasn't currently got any period cookbooks? All her friends
have The Medieval Kitchen but if I give her a copy of Pleyn Delit then
I'll have access to it if I have to check it for anything. (My copy went
walkabout as a result of a failed demo planning years ago, and it's one of
those things, like Brother Cadfael's Herb Garden, that I will not buy for
myself...)
