[Sca-cooks] Anonymous Venetian Cookbook

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

The "Fine Spice" recipe that is being most put forward for the 
up-coming competition appears to be the one reproduced in _The 
Medieval Kitchen_, by Redon, Sabban, & Serventi (trans. Schneider)

The work from which it comes is the _Libro de cucina del secolo XIV_, 
edited by Ludovico Fratri, 1899, from reprint 1970,

Am i mistaken in remembering the original cookbook also referred to 
as the Anonymous Venetian Cookbook?

Is this SPECIFIC cookbook known by another name, perhaps in Venetian 
Italian? I recall a recent discussion on this list (now lost in my 
hard drive death) about several Renaissance Italian cookbooks, and i 
seem to recall that one of them was this book.

I wish there was a way i could get all the Digests again, rather than 
having to search through the list archives a few messages at a time. 
That way i could just do a keyword search on my own computer, rather 
than whining on this list.

who had no idea she could write around a dozen pages about Fine Spice 
blends. Now i gotta edit it down and it seems it isn't going to be 
fewer than 5 or 6 pages, when the recommended number is 3.
