Description

Cooking and Dining in Medieval England by Peter C. D. Brears provides a comprehensive understanding of medieval food production and service. This in-depth study examines the mechanics of cooking and dining, including household organisation, architectural arrangements for kitchens, and equipment used. The book explores various aspects of medieval cookery, from recipes to kitchen equipment, and delves into the rituals surrounding dinner service. With detailed chapters on each department of a large household's kitchen, as well as illustrations of surviving examples in castles and manor houses, this work offers a unique insight into the history of cooking and dining in England. A valuable resource for historical re-enactors, Peter Brears' book includes tested recipes and practical information on the service of dinner. First published in 2008, it is the first volume in a mini-series examining the history of cooking and dining in England.
