Tres cool. Not stuff I'd normally be interested in cooking, mind you, but cool. I was intrigued by the recipes for stuffed eggs (which we normally think of as a savory, not a sweet) and for "fine cakes" (which seem a sort of spiced cookie with dried fruits).
Thank you for the link. :-) Mike and I looked at some of the recipes while we ate a very not-medieval dinner.
