Hi everyone,
I'm currently researching the use of quinces and quince paste in 14th century France.
I've found the recipe for Cotignac/Coindignac in Le Menagier, but I did not find any for quinces in the Viandier of Taillevent (Scully). I haven't come across anything else that mentions/describes quince paste during this period, but I want to make sure that I haven't missed some *obvious* source that I'm not aware of yet.
Any other 14th century quince pastes (or quince recipes) out that that I should be looking for?
Thanks much!
Cainder
