[Sca-cooks] Pie in a Pipkin

[Vitaliano Vincenzi]

I have come across a recipe called "Pie in a Pipkin", or Medieval 
Italian Stew, that really looks good. I found the recipe here:

http://www.recipesource.com/misc/medieval/italian-stew1.html

However, it gives no source, just a 16th century translation of a 
Medieval Italian Cookbook. Has anyone else found this recipe or a source 
for this? In the mean time I am going to try this at our Shire's A&S 
meeting tomorrow, and if it turns out not to be period then I will just 
find something else. But it does look good. :)

Also, what are you thoughts about replacing the raisins with currants? I 
personally prefer currants and usually have plenty on hand, just not 
sure if they would be used in Medieval Italy. :)
