[Sca-cooks] pie sources

[Gretchen Beck]

Spinach pie recipes are available. Here's a one from source (haven't
interpreted them yet):

>From the Good Housewife's Handmaid in the Kitchen (1594)

To make a tart of Spinnage.

	Take some cast creame, and seeth some spinnage in faire water till it be
verie soft, then put it into a Collendar, that the water may soake from it:
then straine the Spinnage, and cast the creame together, let there be good
plenty of Spinnage: set it upon a chafing dish of coales, and put to it
Sugar and some Butter, and let it boyle a while. Then put it in the paste,
and bake it, and caste blanch powder or it, and so serve it in.

toodles, margaret
