I am a contributor of a recipe or two to the most recent edition.

"Traveling Dysshes" is a book of recipes that some folks in The West 
Kingdom (SCA) have cooked with success either at events or ahead of 
time and brought to events.

Not all recipes are terribly historic. The most recent edition has 
more historical or historically based recipes than earlier editions, 
which had some downright modern recipes.

It is not in the least a scholarly book, nor is it about pilgrim's or 
traveller's foods.
