[Sca-cooks] Question

[Terry Decker]

I was considering Danish recipes in Danish.  In the case of the Libellus de 
arte coquinaria, the recipes are in Latin (IIRC) and are not particularly 
Danish in origin.  I probably need to take a look at Codex K and I certainly 
need to revisit the webbed Grewe collection to see what else he has from 
Denmark.
