<< Perhaps the reason that there is a 
diagram in the original discussed recipe 
was not because it was an entirely new 
recipe, but that this version was specifically 
different enough from the way the recipe 
was usually done that it needed a diagram 
to illustrate the difference. >>


That is a very important point.


Given the fact, that there are virtually no diagrams and no forms of 
visualization in old cook books at all, this point deserves careful 
consideration.


What do we know about forms of visualization in medieval manuscripts, within the 
field of cookery or elsewhere?
