Fabulous Feasts

Více o knize

"This is a book for foodlorists, as well as for all those adventurous cooks who would like to surprise and delight their guests with a "medieval feast". To please the eye there are beautiful (sometimes startling) scenes from princely dining halls, as well as from the kitchens "below stairs," complemented by detailed illustrations of ingenious utensils and methods used by the medieval cook. To tempt the taste buds, there are over 100 delectable recipes adapted from medieval manuscripts, which expand the usual range of Appetizers, Soups, Sauces, Breads, Cakes, Meats, Fish, Fowl, and Vegetables to include Appetizing Aphrodisiacs, Fruit and Flower Desserts, and Spectacle, Sculpture, and Illusion Food."-- taken from book jacket front flap
