[Sca-cooks] Late medieval working class food in Basel

[David Walddon]

If this is of particular interest you might also want to check out two articles in PPC. 
Drunkards, Belly-Gods & Servants of the Paunch: Food References in Florio’s Translation of The Decameron	Eden Rain and David Walddon
https://prospectbooks.co.uk/ppc/76
The Hidden Recipes of Bartolomeo Sacchi	David S. Walddon
https://prospectbooks.co.uk/ppc/95

Drunkards looks all the food references in the Decameron (1600+) and Hidden Recipes catalogs all the "recipes" in the first five books of DeHonesta. 
Both tell us TONS about what was eaten and prepared that was not included in cookbooks.
