[Sca-cooks] Madeleine P. Cosman has passed on

[RUTH EARLAND]

For some of us, "Fabulous Feasts" was our introduction to medieval cookery. 
When it was published, there was not the body of literature that now exists.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Some dive in, others approach research 
somewhat more skittishly, in stages, gradually including more unfamiliar 
ideas into their comfort zone. For me, certainly, "Fabulous Feasts" was a 
bridge into a new world. Before that, my ideas about medieval food came from 
the turkey legs, sausage-onna-stick, and funnel cakes of ren faires.
