Hmmm. I can't remember right now, but you might want to check this
file in the Florilegium:
grapes-msg        (32K)  9/10/01    Period grapes, raisins and currants.

Perhaps some of the book reviews and recommendations in the FOOD-BOOKS
section of the Florilegium might be of interest? Here is one file which
I recommend:

cookbooks-bib     (40K)  6/ 9/01    Cookbook bib. by Mistress Jaelle of Armida.
