Title: Information of varying accuracy, no supporting documents.
Review: Lots of information about food preparation and laws in medieval Europe, including modern "adaptations" of medieval recipes. Unfortunately, many of these adaptations are extremely loose, e.g. not showing the original recipe being "adapted", and using ingredients that don't remotely resemble anything available in medieval Europe. Enormous bibliography, but no indication of which source any given recipe or statement came from, so there's no way to check their accuracy.On the positive side, the book includes many quotations from sumptuary and sanitation laws, which give insight into medieval food practices.
