I still have Cariadoc's Miscellany and some others printed on paper in a file, because I didn't have internet at home at that time and no knowledge about books or money to buy them.<br /><br />There are as many different ways of doing things as there are cooks. I do my recipes in a different way. I'll use period ingredients, period methods and make my own recipes using the period theory of cooking as the guideline. I might use period recipes as well, but usually I have first decided on a recipe and then happen to find a period version of the same. This doesn't work for late period cooking of course, because the theory of four humors started to fall into dissuse in cooking during the 16th century.<br /><br />PetronillaElishevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014101193939248907noreply@blogger.com
