Art of Cookery in the Middle Ages

"As a descriptive history, the book works well and is very accessible. Building on recent research into recipe collections, Scully sets out to frame them within a full and scholarly account of the theory and social practices of the late medieval kitchen. The scope of the book is impressive....All recipes retain an authentic lack of information about quantities and cooking times....'The Art of Cookery' is an illuminating account of food theory and production."Scully, Terence is the author of 'Art of Cookery in the Middle Ages ' with ISBN 9780851154305 and ISBN 0851154301.
