> How reliable is " The Medieval Cookbook " by Maggie Black?

Well, I don't buy some of her interpretations, but the biggest problem 
with it is that she divides it up into different time/places-- and then 
uses recipes that belong in one category in a completely different one. 
I believe that her category that covers _Le Menagier de Paris_ doesn't 
have a single recipe from Le Menagier, but recipes from that text appear 
in the other categories.
