Synopsis

This book is a collection of medieval English culinary recipes which have not been edited before.Some of them come from brief collections which have not been previously published, or are found in isolation or very small groups in manuscripts which do not contain such collections. Others come from collections which have been used, or viewed, primarily for collation, but which contain other recipes which had not yet been noted. It was the author's object to gather together all the recipes which had not been edited and published, or are not currently being edited by others, to make the record of English recipes of this period as complete as possible.The volume concludes with a supplement to the recently published Concordance of English Recipes: Thirteenth Through Fifteenth Centuries, adding all the new recipes to that Concordance, except for a few which are so fragmentary as not to deserve listing.

About this title

Review

...an essential addendum to the corpus of printed Middle English culinary records... This volume brims with learned and painstakingly detailed study of individual recipes and recipe collections, and while not undemanding reading, provides a crucial resource for scholars of the culture of medieval England and its dining tables.'--Christine M. Rose, Portland State University"The Medieval Review" (09/01/2007)
