Cookery:

Recipes, Experiments,

& Otherwise


Of the Table, and Fyne Dyshes Served Thereto.

Experiments in learning how to cook more period-like food. None of this should be taken as gospel, as my area of expertise is not historical cooking, I merely know enough about it to do a tasty, period-to-perioid feast. My partner, Miguel de Montoya el Artista, and I feastocrated several times, with me doing the research and devising the menu, and he doing the principle cooking, and I enjoyed doing the lunch and buffet spreads for royalty rooms several times. This section deals primarily with foods prepared for SCA events, and reflects a historical leaning.

Three Legume Receipts: Three simple dishes suitable for vegans. It irritates me that so many feasts offer nothing but salads for vegetarians. Put one dish of legumes in your menu so that vegans have at least one serious protein component in their meal.

Chicken and Squash: Based on Apicus 80.

A Pork and Apple Pie: An example of a modern dish "backwards redacted" to blend into a 16th c. style meal.

A Meal: To seeth fresh salmon et serve it forth with of greens and rice. Poached salmon based on  a recipe in Good Huswife's Jewel and a redaction of Platina's recipes entitled "Brew." 

A Meal: Hen prepared after Nola served with Sprouts and other things. Cornish hens served on bread with a cheese sauce, with brussels sprouts, pickled vegetables, apples, nuts. Original redaction from Nola.

A Dysshe of Beef and Barley: Simple grain dish that round out a meal nicely. Inexpensive, tasty, filling, and period.

Pickled Green Beans: Two blog entries about redacting a very late period recipe for green beans. Read the blog entry linked here for the original receipt and then click the link in the comment section labeled Pingback: Ars Gratia Artis; Push Forward to read how the recipe came out.

The Travelling Dinner: A draft article on getting a period-like meal together by simply shopping wisely. It remains a draft because I have not put in the references yet, and, having compiled the list to my satisfaction, I am not terribly certain as to when I will get around to putting them in.

Two Desserts

Two drink syrups: sekanjabin style!
