New Project: A perfectly period Spanish Feast at Fall Collegium (23Oct2010 moved to 13Nov10). Primarily based on The Book of Sent Sovi­: Medieval Recipes from Catalonia (backed up where necessary by Chiquart's 'on Cookery': A Fifteenth-Century Savoyard Culinary Treatise,  Arnaldus de Villa Nova's Liber de Vinis, and the new translation of Le Menagier de Paris). The main service sources we hope to use are Enrique de Villena's Arte Cisoria (backed up where necessary by "Boke of Curtasye"/Sloane MS 1986 and Ruperto de Nola). The time period is 1420-1440CE, but the geography (other than "Iberian peninsula") is not quite determined, but likely to be Catalonia.
