The Medieval Cookbook

This book contains interesting snippets of history along with delicious recipesp

Nice book, but somehow the recipes seemed to have been modernised a bit too much. I would have preferred if the recipes had been translated and then a modern version of the recipe presented.

I have tried a few recipes from this over Christmas and all seemed to work well although the recipes have understandably been tweaked a little from the old English facing pages. Whilst the book is beautifully presented, for practical use as a cookery book a few pictures of the food would be handy though. When you are making a dish you are unfamiliar with, it’s difficult to know if something has worked or not without a few pictures or descriptions.However, I made the grete pye, the golden onions and leeks and some medieval white bread and my family enjoyed it all!

We were able to use the cookbook to produce a communal meal for Agincourt 600. Finding many foods in common production today. Our Venison Ragu and fruit pies were a hit with the 30 or so diners on the day.

Loved this book - good inforamtion about recipes and what went on re etiquette etc as well as the foodCan't wait to have a goFancy doing the chutney in honey and wine

I must say, this book was brilliant! Very easy to use, and gave lots of advice, we have had a couple of very nice dinners indeed!

Great book full of interesting and sometimes amusing recipes. A good insight into the times. Well packaged, good condition and prompt delivery.

A very interesting read indeed but was not encouraged to try any of the recipes.
