[Sca-cooks] Rumpolt is here!

[Cat .]

SWEET!!!

I would love to see a couple of digital photos of it
(the cover, and a page or two inside?) just for
comparison.  
The one I have is the Tupperware version, possibly
Dresden 1976ish? (it has no actual info printed in the
book where it should be)  It is perhaps 8x12 or 13"
(not standard size) and perhaps 1.5-2" thick.

I have to agree, Im still in love with my Rumpolt,I
just keep getting side tracked from it so Im delighted
you are taking up the torch.  I still would love to be
able to help you proof, and to be able to link to your
translation once we are both sure its the best
possible one.

trying to get ready for Temperance of cooks, and just
found out I landed our 12th night feast in Jan 08. 
GAH.  150 seats/meals, and the place has a large
space, but equipment only like a normal home kitchen
(4 burner stove, one oven, three microwaves (RIGHT for
the middle ages PAH) and a standard sink.) So another
roaster feast ~.~  but I did put up that helium hand.
Any favorite tried and true feast recipes from 15th
century FRANCE? I have Le Vivendier, any other useful
period sources?
