Review:
I think this book is great, having a fond interest in Culinary history (Especially ancient), this book filled the spot as an introduction to expand into the medieval era.
With some wonderful recipes translated and the inclusion original recipe in original form, makes interesting reading to see the comparison of the english language from then until now for anyone with a passing interest in languages.
With 7 chapters of recipes and 1 chapter of \'remedies\', each chapter begins a different view on cooking and includes a good introduction to each chapter, from Doomsday to the cookery monks and nuns did, the later middle ages, and christmas cookery.
Whilst most of the recipes would be easily made, some of them would require some preparation and searching to find the ingredients.
2 indexes are includeed one as the original recipe name and the second as modern name and by ingredient.
