There are plenty of books of medieval recipes on the market; this is not another, but looks at the actual person of the cook, from the professional working for the greatest lord to the humblest peasant housewife. Bridget Henisch describes the basic tasks of the kitchen - baking and dairying, curing meat and fish, before going on to look at more elaborate cooking right up to the oft-studied medieval feast. The rise of towns also saw greater specialisation in terms of food shops and street stalls, all of which are covered here. Above all, however the book focuses on medieval perceptions of cooks, their social status, and role as purveyors both of a necessity and a potential enticement to the sin of gluttony. "An excellent book and a delight to read, written with panache and entirely convincing" - Peter Coss.
