[Sca-cooks] German/English/Romanian period food

[Stefan li Rous]

Skipping ahead again (while saving the digests to look at later), I 
noticed that Vladimir Armbruster asked:

I posted about one Florilegium file just now. I hope you saw that or 
found the file.

> England About the Same Time?

You might want to glance through this file. This is a good, annotated 
bibliography of books about period food and cooking books. I don't seem 
to have any files specifically on English 14th century food.

That is not surprising. It was for most folks until eastern Europe 
started opening up in the 90s. And even then the area doesn't seem to 
have the surviving number of manuscripts that some areas have. This is 
a bit past period, but I'm still proud to be able to provide it in the 
Florilegium MANUSCRIPTS section:
Romanian-ckbk-art (112K)  1/25/04    "A Translation of a 17th Century 
Romanian
                                        Cookbook" by Lord Petru cel 
paros Voda.

I'm not sure here is much, if anything, on 15th century Romanian foods 
available, anywhere.
