Contains Medieval and Elizabethan recipes in the first two chapters. These adapted recipes are pulled from sources like Forme of Cury, Harleian manuscripts, and Markham's English Housewife.
A good book for reference. A well researched, thorough, fairly exhaustative approach to food & drink in the United Kingdom, illustrated with examples held by the National Trust. At times plodding & difficult to complete. The pacing seems more forced & more of an academic text. This isn't that easy to read but is generally rewarding
