 >>>
The book was nominated for a number of prizes and it's still
in print.
What an unusual character she was! Guns, the law, and medieval studies.

To which Christianna replied:
 > Indeed, what I'm sure her friends called a "colorful" character.

Hmmm. Seems I can think of a number of my friends in the SCA to whom  
that description would apply.

Fab Feasts was my first book on period food, the Galantine Pie recipe is
still one of my favorites.  She is definitely someone upon who's
shoulders we stand now.
<<<

What was this Galantine Pie recipe? I do have the book, but perhaps  
others might want to see it. Any idea of whether this recipe  
resembles a/any recipe(s) in the medieval corpus? Do you cook this  
dish as she redacted it or have you made changes?
