Hot off the presses: A new Feudal Gourmet pamphlet!

Researching a medieval Recipe: Condoignac - a Quince Paste from 
Paris, 1393-1394.

Our latest pamphlet is not a recipe collection, but an example of how 
to meticulously reconstruct a medieval recipe, from researching each 
of the ingredients, to analyzing in depth the multiple translations 
of the recipe, and going through multiple combinations of the 
ingredients to achieve a happy final result.  A great example of 
taking medieval cooking to a higher level of research.  $3.00
