Reseña del editor:

Rescuing the glorious cuisine of the Middle Ages, this book of French and Italian recipes provides a melange of flavour, aroma and colour. Reconstructed from 14th and 15th-century sources, and adapted to suit the modern kitchen, the recipes offer rich potages, savoury tortes, rustic pates and garden vegetables, fish, game an array of sauces, and sweets and confections. In addition to the recipes, the book depicts the context and tradition of authentic medieval cookery: etiquette at table, the aesthetics of the meal, the foods of the city and the country, the diets of the rich and the poor, and the ingenious methods and techniques employed in medieval culinary arts, all inviting the reader to savour the culinary treasures of a bygone age.
