Description

" ... Hannele Klemettilä corrects many misconceptions about the food of the Middle Ages, acquainting the reader not only with its culinary culture but also the customs and ideologies associated with eating during the period. The author describes the fish, meat, fruit and vegetables that travelled great distances to grace medieval dining tables and the elaborate dishes created in the kitchens of Europe some 600 years ago. Accompanied by paintings, illuminations and illustrations, the book also contains over 60 recipes based on historical sources that can be easily prepared in the modern home"--Jacket, page [2].
