[Sca-cooks] Renaissance Recipes by Gillian Riley

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Vincenzo used three recipes from "Renaissance Recipes" by Gillian
Riley. As far as i can tell, it's a picture book with recipes.
Intriguing, since i'm into art, too.

Does it have the original recipes, or just the author's worked out recipe?

Anyone else familiar with it? Is it worth buying?

Second, Riley has put together several other books:
-- The Dutch Table : Gastronomy in the Golden Age of the Netherlands
(is this the 17th or 18th century?)
-- Impressionist Picnics (way oop, but i like some Impressionists
(just not Renoir))
-- A Feast for the Eyes  (which appears to span from the Renaissance
to the Impressionists)

All four are affordable. Any details on the latter three as well?

Thanks for any information,
Anahita
