[Sca-cooks] Christmas loot

[Patricia Dunham]

oooh!!!  Sykes Sutler's has the 3v pamphlet version of Elinor Fettiplace in stock, and very nice.  Clean legible print, if small.  It's apparently going to be a hunt to find the items that are culinary, because they seem to be totally mixed in with the medicinals, which are the vast majority.  I've only been wanting the thing for about 30 years!   

Invito alla mensa del mercante del Trecento!  Absolutely beautiful production, even if only 48 p, and 4 recipes.  You get modern Italian, a color photo of the original text, and an english version, looks like a literal trans of the Italian, no effort to redact (good!).  With color illustrations from Tacuinum Sanitatus and others.
  
And of course, cannot fail to mention!  Kochen mit Pettersson und Findus!!!  Anybody know anything about "Anne Tüllman", who is credited with the recipe-writing?  

(and got A Gathering of Medieval English Recipes for my birthday 3 wks ago!)

Pretty good haul.  Really looking forward to getting moved and finding a nice group to play with again.

Hope you're all having a great day!

(breakfast was pancakes & bacon, and bacon-pancakes for some.  that's where you drop broken-up bits of bacon into the pancake.  even my Type2 diabetic can still have pancakes... he used to be a "sprinkle sugar on the melted butter" boy (no maple syrup), now he deposits liquid stevia drops into the melted near-butter!!  And then we go bike riding!)
