[Sca-cooks] Ful list of Elizabethan cookbooks

Okay. I wasn't quite certain what you were looking for either. I've 
seen "Tudor/Elizabethan" to mean just that time period in England and 
that time period over a larger area.

Some. But I'm still not sure whether you are looking for just facsimile 
reproductions of period cookbooks or whether a collection of recipes 
with redactions and interpretations would be of interest.

I'm afraid I don't have most of my cookbook lists sorted by time period 
and they are hardly comprehensive, however there is this file in the 
FOOD-BOOKS section:
16thC-cookbk-bib  (11K)  3/ 2/00    A bibliography of 16th C. cookbooks.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-BOOKS/16thC-cookbk-bib.html

And among the numerous bibliographies and reviews is this fairly large 
annotated bibliography. This is one which I will probably print out for 
Pennsic or perhaps load into my new Palm pilot. I have considered 
simply loading the entire Florilegium in there, though. :-)
cookbooks-bib     (44K)  2/15/04    Cookbook bib. by Mistress Jaelle of 
Armida.
