[Sca-cooks] Cialdoni and Nevole - A Recipe Search

[Terry Decker]

I have come across another reference you might find of interest.  It is fairly far down in the paper.

The TasteAtlas has information similar to that I provided and points to the town where the nevole irons are made.

I have also encountered a reference to a recipe for "cyaldones" to be found in Lorenzo de Medici's "Canto delcialdoni".  You are more likely to be familiar with the literature than I.

I've no idea if nevole were rolled in period, but Johnna's reference shows that some wafers were.  I think I've about mined all my available sources.

Also Bear, thank you very much - even without a period recipe, the article
you pointed me at cites a wafer iron from about the right period, though I
don't know how solid the dating is (or how clear it is that it was
specifically a nevole iron), and it's clearly the right kind of thing from
about the right place. A lot more than I had.

The article mentions that they are modernly rolled into cones; any idea how
far back that goes? I ask because the cialdoni are rolled.

And Johnna, thank you so much, that looks like exactly what I am looking
for.

Sorry for all the emails! Thank you everyone for the very quick response!
