Get it, get it, get it! I prefer this to other texts such as Pleyn Delit,
because the authors give you a translation of the recipe from the original
text, plus some commentary, then their redaction. I usually take a look at
their redaction, then redact the recipe from the translation myself. But
the comments are helpful in envisioning what this might taste like.
