[Sca-cooks] Platina's lemon salad and quince preserves

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Indeed. I translated it from a French source.
 
I probably won't be going deep into Platina, who is way out of my own  
(Early Medieval) period. As it happens, we were discussing Medieval oranges,  
especially in regard to pregnancy, elsewhere, hence my foray into his  work.

The  below source is almost 100 years after his work was written. 
It was  translated from Latin into French and below into English. 
I would suggest  the Milham translation as a good starting place for 
anything Platina.  
However if you get REALLY into Platina you should also own the  
Mallinckrodt edition (much maligned but includes a facsimile of the original  and isn't 
as bad as people think!)
