Cooking and Dining in Medieval England

Peter Brears new book is a beauty! Of course, there are recipes in modern English with usable measurements and cooking temperatures... but then all these medieval cooking books have recipes of some sort. What really sets this book apart is the additional information, which in fact makes up the lions share of the book. Brears discusses the real practicalities of cooking in the Middle Ages: buying food, storing food, building kitchens, getting good water, culinary equipment. And we have chapters on Roasting, Baking, Brewing, Frying, Sauces, Dairying, Confectionery and much else besides. The book concludes with a narrative reconstruction of the Archbishop of Yorks enthronement feast in 1466, which illustrates, brilliantly, all that has gone before.

Priced at $60, we are delighted to offer the book at 20% off! To find out more, click here.
