Descriptions yes---
Actual recipes --- no.
That's about a century too early for the surviving French or English
manuscripts
we have. The early 13th is covered by:LIBELLUS DE ARTE COQUINARIA
An Early Northern Cookery Book by Grewe and Hieatt.
The LIBELLUS is among the oldest of culinary recipe
Collections & dates from the early thirteenth century.
It survives in 4 versions: Danish, Icelandic, & Low German.
It is thought to date back to the 12th century.
It ís a small collection of only 35 recipes.
Society members have known it for many years as the
Collection published AN OLD ICELANDIC MEDICAL
MISCELLANY [Ms. Royal Irish Academy 23D 43.]in
1931 by Henning Larsen.
