[Sca-cooks] Pre-14th c. Cookbooks

[Wanda Pease]

You can probably save your soul by vowing to buy the book when it comes out
:-)  If this is like a lot of much desired books "to be published" it is all
too probably vapor ware.  Maybe if there was a way to send the author a
couple of bucks in thanks.  Heaven knows most non-fiction authors don't make
that much off the New sale of the works they have put large portions of
their life into

This probably won't be much help, but quite a few recipes in David
Waines' "In a Caliph's Kitchen" are from a 10th century cookbook that
was a compendium of recipes, some from several 9th century cook
books. According to His Grace Cariadoc, Charles Perry is working on
his own translation of this, but, well, i s'pect it'll be a long wait
for it to be published.
