I am trying to compile a list of the earliest 2-3 cookbooks for the various
Viking areas. Since there are no actual Viking cookbooks, the earliest ones
seem to be at around 50-100+ years later or more. Lists of archeological
findings would be helpful as well.
Some are:
1100's-maybe: Libellus De Arte Coquinaria: An Early Northern Cookery Book
(Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies (Series), V. 222.)
by Rudolf Grewe (Editor), Constance B. Hieatt (Editor), which has been found
in Danish, Icelandic, & Low German.
1300, 1350: Kristensen, M. Harpestrang, Gamle danske Urtebøger, Stenbøger,
og
Kogebøger (Old Danish Urte-books, Stone-books, and Cookbooks). Copenhagen:
Thiele. 1908-1920.
Is there any sort of written or archeological evidence that roman style
recipes would have been used with northern european foods in roman occupied
areas...perhaps a sort of modification of Apicius for foods locally
available at the time?
