A 12th century cookbook has been found. http://news.discovery.com/history/oldest-european-medieval-cookbook-found-130417...
Doesn't strike me as all that appetizing.

Hmm, I have one cookbook with recipes from 14th and 15th century and tried some of the recipes. Basically include almonds, herbs and honey and you are halfway there.

#2, would that be A Medieval Feast? Agreed on the almonds, herbs and honey. I guess anything to get rid of the gamey flavors...

Just came across this article and thought it would be of interest: http://www.medievalists.net/2013/06/19/flavor-pairing-in-medieval-european-cuisi...
