The Forme of Cury

[Angilion]

A nice little documentary has been repeated and is on iplayer again:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00b6vl6/Clarissa_and_the_Kings_Cookbook/

The Forme of Cury(*) is the oldest known extant English cookbook, written around 1390. In the documentary, Clarissa Dickson Wright cooks three dishes from it and gives a little historical background.


* In modern English, 'The method of cooking".

Gotta say, whenever I see a cookery show with her (or the other one) in, it makes me feel sick seeing her fat sausage fingers handling the nice food.
