[Sca-cooks] cookbook - need some help

[Ian Rocas]

I was recently perusing an on-line version of "The Medieval Kitchen" and I noticed several recipies that involved squash an pumpkin.  I had always thought that squash was a new world food that did not reach Europe before the Renaisance.  Was I wrong about that?
