Hieatt is a good one to start with because this paperback is historically accurate and has a good sample of recipes for the modern cook to recreate. You can purchase this book at your local bookstore or by clicking the above photo or hyper-text to Amazon.com.
Odile Redon and the other authors of The Medieval Kitchen: Recipes from France and Italy have done a great job of merging history and recipes. This paperback is a good all around historical cookbook to add to your library. You can purchase this book at your local bookstore or by clicking the above photo or hyper-text to Amazon.com.
