[Sca-cooks] Semi-OT: Baked to Death

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

I just finished the latest mystery in the Simon Kirby-Jones series by Dean James -- "Baked to Death".  The series is a spoof on English "cozy" mysteries.  The protagonist is a historian/writer, a gay American vampire living in the small English village of Snupperton-Mumsley.  This particular book involves a murder at a gathering of a British medieval reenactment group (one invented by the author).  The murder is a poisoning, and medieval food is a plot element.  In a bibliography at the end of the book, the author cites both books and websites.  

The books are "Pleyn Delit", "The Medieval Cookbook", "Fabulous Feasts", and "Fast and Feast".  He includes two recipes from the first two titles.  The food websites are Gode Cookery, and medievalcookery.com.
