Book Reviews of The Medieval Kitchen: Recipes from France and Italy

Book Review: An excellent source for authentic Medieval recipes.
Summary: 5 Stars

I like the look and organization of this book. Each recipe starts out with a translation of the Medieval recipe (with source) , followed by a paragraph or three of assorted info about the recipe, then the recipe itself (with American and metric measurements).

The section before the recipes (there are 153) goes over something of history, background, and menus. After the recipe sections, the medieval texts (recipies) in what I assume is Medieval French and Italian, a bibliography of primary and secondary sources, and a few mail order sources for ingredients.

This book is a must for anyone interested in Medieval recreation.
