[Sca-cooks] Period Greek Recipes

[Stefan li Rous]

Lord Vitaliano Vincenzi asked:
<<< Where I need help is on the Greek course. I am thinking about  
serving
souvlaki on pita's, but would like to find some resources for this. Any
good suggestions for books or online resources for period versions of
this? I have found a few web sites with some information, but would love
to get a book on period Greek cuisine, if such exists. >>>

Are you looking for period or traditional recipes? I would assume the  
former, but I'm not sure I've seen any info on souvlaki being period.  
For "Greek" info in the Middle Ages, you might want to open your  
search to include Byzantine.

In case you weren't aware of it, there is this file in the FOOD-BY- 
CULTURES section of the Florilegium. But alas, it isn't very big. I'd  
love to  have more info.

<<< I know about "The
Deipnosophists" but from what I can see there are several books - but
which one would be what I want? >>>

Is this a period book? More details, please.
