Does anyone know of a good online source of authentic medieval period foods, beverages, and feasts...that is readable and translated into modern names of herbs and ingredients, AND measurements?

The SCA has a couple of links to some recipe pages, but not everything is translated into useable measurements.

They used heaps of quince fruit. Recipes on http://www.historicfood.com/quinces
Carla Passino has written 'A Medieval Cookbook' adapted to modern kitchens. I found this info on http://www.countrylife.co.uk/lifecountr ... ookbookphp along with some recipes.
Your best bet is to trawl United Kingdom sites.
Cheers
Anna

I have been looking for quince recipes, but had only found a few so far. Unfortunately the links you gave didn't work. :( I'll do a search though. The book sounds interesting.


I did find one recipe off that page of links that was quite interesting called Chastletes - Pastry Castle -

It's a square walled "castle" with a tower at each corner - the "courtyard" holds a meat dish, while the four towers hold - respectively - a sauce for the meat, a cold fruit soup, fresh fruit, and a custard pudding.

I can't link to the direct page, but if anyone is interested....

http://www.florilegium.org/

Use the left hand menu and scroll down to Sweet or Decorated Foods and click. Scroll down on the list of articles to Chastlete-art "Chastlete, a Pastry Castle", about the 12th one down. It is an interesting read if for no other reason.

Try this...:)
Type in either of these:
A Forme of Cury or
Free Recipes -a Roll of Ancient English Cookery
If you get an entry which is flagged as www. free-recipes.co.uk/a-roll-ofancient-englishcookery/ you have the jackpot but your work is only beginning.
If you reach the site the page numbers are up on the right hand side at the top and you'll have to click on a page and trawl through the old-fashioned recipes to find something you would like to cook.
Good Luck.
Anna.

...that didn't work, didn't work because of a 'dot' left out near the end. Try it this way.

Hello ethnic hash,

This is Bigjim, I promissed this old dentist that I would make him some quince jam and fig jam, for doing such a good job on my teeth. I think he was from greece and this man
I think must of been in his eighties, but a fantastic dentist. And I really would like
to make him happy. I make alot of jams and jellies during the year but I have`nt made
either one of those. and when you started talking about quince, I thought I would ask.
talk to you later.

Greetings Big Jim. I found a simplified quince jam recipe from a trusted source, thought I'd share it with you. http://greekfood.about.com/od/dessertsp ... ythoni.htm Did you make the jam? If so, what did you think? My resource said that quince, being from the rose family, tastes like roses. That doesn't sound appetizing to me.
