[Sca-cooks] Hello Back with some sources

[Johnna Holloway]

Hi
Welcome to the list.

There's one very short collection of 51 recipes written in Latin and  
Occitan. It's known as Modus viaticorum preparandarum. It's part of  
this doctoral dissertation:

Carole Lambert, Trois réceptaires culinaires médiévaux: Les  
Enseingnementz, les Doctrine et le Modus: édition critique et  
glossaire détaillé. Dissertatio Universitatis Montis Regalis, 1989
The dissertation is in French.

I'd suggest starting with  Melitta Adamson's  Regional Cuisines of  
Medieval Europe: a Book of Essays. 2002. It has a chapter in it with a  
very good bibliography that addresses the south of France. The author  
is Carole Lambert who did the dissertation mentioned above.

Also
Santich, Barbara.  The Original Mediterranean Cuisine: Medieval  
Recipes for Today.  might be good to read also.

Occitian may appear under occitan.
