I was reading Ken Albala's new book last night and came across this
passage in the cataloguing information under Notes.
There it reads:
"An introduction to the antiquated kitchen, or cookery made difficult
and inconvenient being foremost a pleasant discourse on the nature and
execution of arcane and dangerous culinary practices especially
designed for patient, discerning individuals who appreciate superior
homemade food and those who will not balk at devoting many laborious
hours to the kitchen."
The book is The lost art of real cooking : rediscovering the pleasures
of traditional food, one recipe at a time. It's co-written with
Rosanna Nafziger. It's certainly worth a look and it does talk about
medieval pork pies and other activities that might interest readers of
this list.
