Informative little book i picked up for free in a heapsale on amazon. Cute little recipes that might makes you venture to your local global market for ingredients. The little quips describing the holidays and events the recipes would be served with, or themed after are a nice little flavor.

Humorous, informative, and full of some different and very interesting and delicious sounding recipes (don't let the Medieval scare you away)! I'm not sure what I expected, but this exceeded it. The title alone gives a hint to the entertaining writing (yes, it's more than puns) and bits of historical information. Worth reading for the recipes, for the history, for the humor, or for all three!

We will definitely be working our way through this book! I do wish they had included the original recipes as well, though.

A little too modernized for my tastes, the recipes don't seem very medieval in flavor profile at least not from what I've had from other cookbooks, and the commentary and cutesy recipe titles ranged from annoying to mildly offensive. The research seems fine and the idea of the recipes were good, I just wish they'd cleaved to the medieval ingredients and prep a lot more.
