Cooking Renaissance Italian Food is a translation and redaction of 51 recipes from the 1549 Banchetti by Christoforo Messisbugo. There are 323 recipes in the original manuscript, organized in 12 chapters. Charles Potter has redacted a few examples from each chapter so that the reader gains an idea of the layout of the cookbook. The main purpose of this book is to provide an in-depth look at how they created food and feasts in Ferrara Italy in the 16th century.
Cooking Renaissance Italian Food tries to help the reader understand what was available in that time period and where to find foods that may be obscure today. Information on the weights and measures used in the past are included. Many people will be amazed at how different Italian cooking was in that time period compared to modern cooking, but you can also see glimpses of where modern Italian cooking had its start. The Banchetti is one of the first cook books in early modern cookery in Italy.
