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.
