[Sca-cooks] Mediterranean Recipe Resources

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

I've decided to do all-Mediterranean all-the-time 
for Silver Spoon cooking competitions in 2006.

To aid cooks, I'm putting together a page listing 
possible resources for recipes. I have a moderate 
number of resources to list, but i'm hoping folks 
can add some more. I prefer to list English 
translations, but i will mention Thomas Gloning's 
invaluable site for the more adventurous.

Here's what i have so far - not all listings are complete...

AL-ANDALUS / ANDALUSIA
-- Anonymous 13th C. Andalusian Cookbook, on the 'net (i have the URL)

SPAIN / CATALUNYA (Catalonia)
(i'm listing them together, since so many Spanish 
cookbooks "borrowed" from Catalan books)
-- Sent Sovi - no complete translation into 
English available - individual recipes in Santich 
and Redon and on the 'net
-- de Nola - complete translation into English by 
Vincent Cuenca in book form, and nearly complete 
by Brighid ni Chiarain on the 'net (i have the 
URL)
-- Granado - mostly copied de Nola but added some more recipes
-- Manual de mujeres
-- Libre de totes maneres de confits - i don't 
know of an English translation that is publicly 
available.

SOUTHERN FRANCE
I know of no complete Southern French cookbooks - 
well, one or two are listed in Santich, but i 
don't know if they're available (even in Medieval 
Southern French). Anyone know of one?
For some individual recipes in English see 
Santich and Redon/Sabban/Serventi (below). Do NOT 
use "Le Menagier de Paris " - it's northern, not 
Mediterranean

ITALY
-- Ancient Rome (i have many resources - i won't 
list them in this e-mail, but in a separate one)
-- Anonymous Venetian - on Helewyse's website (i have the URL)
-- Anonymous Tuscan - by Vittoria on my website (i have the URL)
-- Cuoco Napolitano - translated by Terence Scully (shows Catalan influence)
-- Maestro Martino of Como - Libro de Arte 
Coquinaria (Book on the Art of Cookery)
In English as: The Art of Cooking: The First 
Modern Cookery Book (California Studies in Food 
and Culture)
-- Platina - De honesta voluptate & Valitudine
In English as: On right pleasure and good health. 
A critical edition and translation of "De honesta 
voluptate et valetudine" by M.E. Milham. Tempe, 
Arizona 1998 (Medieval & Renaissance Texts & 
Studies 168)
--Bartolomeo Scappi - Opera dell'Arte del Cucinare
Not available in English, but some individual recipes are

OTHER
-- Ancient Greece (i have some sources for this 
that i'll post in the Roman resource message)
-- Portuguese - Um tratado da cozinha portuguesa 
do século XV - in our files section.
