[Sca-cooks] Ideas for 1300 Italy

[Terry Decker]

The Anonimo Venetiano referenced in an earlier message was originally 
written somewhere between 1300 and 1350.  It was edited from a 15th Century 
manuscript by Ludovico Frati, combined with the Anonimo Toscano (late 14th 
or early 15th Century) and published as Libro de cucina secolo XIV in 1899. 
Other than a dietary text and a collection of sauce recipes, both by 
Magninus Mediolanensis, the Anonimo Venetiano is as close as you will likely 
get to what you want.

----- Original Message ----- 

Looks like there are some good dishes in these.  Thank you!  I was
hoping for something closer to 1300, but I know documentation can be
tough the earlier you go.  I'm thinking of a roasted pork with the
pepper sauce.  Looks very yummy.

Thanks!
