A recent comment in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morganlf's journal started me thinking about some of my historical research into medieval cooking. I read a number of medieval and early renaissance cookbooks, and, in addition to using the research for papers, I did some experimentation, too. On a whim, I dug up the recipes; I'm posting them now more for my own pleasure than anyone else's, though given my friends list I wouldn't be too surprised to find others interested in medieval cookery. The original recipes are transcribed from the cookbook Liber cure Cocorum, written in the early 1400s; they're followed by a word-for-word modernization and then a sort of modern summary version.
