Last month

false_parrot cooked the feast for Montengarde's Beltaine event. The recipes we used came from the following books, each of which has many other equally interesting recipes as well!

I am pretty sure I also have several other books of medieval cookery, which are presumably at the moment scattered among members of

false_parrot and which I would like to get back. The two others I can think of right now are Elinor Fettiplace's Receipt Book and a reprint of Gervase Markham's English Housewife. Further bibliographic details to follow when I get the books back. Happy cooking!!
