[Sca-cooks] Acre

[Deborah Hammons]

So far the only "interesting"  reading has been The Principal Navigations,
Voyages and Traffiques by Richard Hakluyt that was transcribed by Paul
Hagen.  No lists of provisions, but has all of the contracts.

What I would really like to do is from a single list of ingredients, put
together a meal from two different cuisines.  For instance at Acre,
ingredients that were there, and how the English or French court would
prepare it, contrasting it with how the Islamic inhabitants would prepare
it.
