[Sca-cooks] ideas for christmas prezzie cookery books, please?

[Patricia Dunham]

I’m working on my ”Christmas list” — ideas for Dear Husband & Kiddo to get for ME, b’day Dec4 & Xmas… I’m a little out-of-the-loop on what’s RECENT in medieval cookbooks at the moment. Any ideas would be gratefully rec’d. 

Mainly “medieval”; Greek & Roman (Classical & Britano-Roman), and early Renn. are also of interest. Anything ethnic that would have influenced classic SCA-period food-ery.  We’ve gotten a lot of the Elizabethans put out by Dalby, Albala, Brears et al the last few years… Just anything that  pops to mind would be appreciated.

Hope you all had good-Turkey-Day (and your intake is receding as rapidly as ours is, <G>)  We have decided to try BRUSSELS SPROUTS! Seems to be a very minor variant of broccoli, taste & texture-wise, and that’s real good, as we all LIKE broccoli, and drastically need to add greens to our diet! Adding ANYthing to the foodstuffs list with the super-taster and the all-comers-food-sensitivities in this group is a major feat!

Thanks,
