Title: Good overview of Medieval practices of food.
Product review: This book is nicely organized in how it takes its focus from different Medieval Figures such as: Chaucer, Richard II, and The Goodman of Paris. I like the general overview of someof the cooking habits during the different time periods, butfound myself wanting more information than provided.As for the recipes, I liked that she included the orignaltext of the recipes along with her modernization. However,I found that many of the recipes were significantly changedfrom the original. I feel this does a disservice to theoriginal, for you won't get the same tastes as were intended. Some of her modernizations include ingredientsthat are not mentioned in the original.
