  The Medieval Cookbook, by Maggie Black

Good.

  Dining with William Shakespeare, Magge Lorin

Expensive, and not bad.

  Fabulous Feasts, by Madeleine Pelner Cosman

Pathetic. Her recipes are rarely close to the originals, and she doesn't
document how or what changed.  Or where the original came from.  AVOID.

I would HEAVILY recommend the new second edition of Pleyn Delite.  Hieatt
and Butler and someone else...  It's just out, beautifully researched, and
cheap in softcover.

  You can subscribe to the Merry Rose (although I warn you here and now) it's
  not always about food.
