Fabulous Feasts: Medieval Cookery and Ceremony

Rating:
Summary: A good starting point for medieval cooks
Review: This book is quite a good starting volume for the medieval chef. Unfortunately the recipes are undated or sourced and the info is quite general. But if you're not doing a specific period feast and just want to get some beginner info this is a valuable book for the shelf.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is a wonderful book in terms of both recipes and historical perspective. There are several recipes in this book that are good for modern day recipes. There are a great deal of recipes for sauces, meats, and several for desserts. The recipe for fried oranges alone is worth the price of this book. If you are looking for a book to expand your selection on mideval recipes, or even to start one this book is written for the average reader, with enough thrown in to make the more advanced mideval scholar happy.
