I think this book is great, having a fond interest in Culinary history (Especially ancient), this book filled the spot as an introduction to expand into the medieval era.
With some wonderful recipes translated and the inclusion original recipe in original form, makes interesting reading to see the comparison of the english language from then until now for anyone with a passing interest in languages.

With 7 chapters of recipes and 1 chapter of 'remedies', each chapter begins a different view on cooking and includes a good introduction to each chapter, from Doomsday to the cookery monks and nuns did, the later middle ages, and christmas cookery.
Whilst most of the recipes would be easily made, some of them would require some preparation and searching to find the ingredients.
2 indexes are includeed one as the original recipe name and the second as modern name and by ingredient.
Salt it, seeth it and messe it forth!

This is definately a book for cookery enthusiasts. I am interested in cooking history and found it very readable and I liked the way the recipes were laid out to follow. I have made some of them and they are very good. Not like todays junk food!
