Why did the mushroom always get invited to the party?  Because he was
such a fungi!

Okay, bad jokes aside the mushroom has a long history in gastronomy.
Over 120,000  species of mushroom or fungi have been identified around
the world. Of these only a little over 1800 are considered safe to eat
and over 300 are now cultivated.  Already in classical times several
varieties of ‘shrooms were being cultivated, but some continue to resist
efforts of domestication and can still only be gathered wild.

Let’s start with some simple preparations for mushrooms.  The following
recipes can be interpreted as marinated mushrooms and made well ahead of
serving time. We’ll start with a pair from the Roman text de re
coquinaria as translated by Joseph Dommers Vehling in Apicius: Cookery
and dining in imperial Rome (1936) Reprinted by Dover

310  for Morels  in Fungis farneis
Pepper reduced wine, vinegar and oil.

311 Another way of cooking morels aliter fungi farni
   In salt water , with oil, pure wine, and serve with chopped coriander.

And follow up with a recipe from the other end of our time spectrum with
To dress mushrooms in the Italian Fashion  The Accomplisht Cook, Robert
May, 1685

Take mushrooms, peel & wash then, and boil them in a skillet with water
and salt, but first let the liquor boil with sweet herbs, Parsley, and a
crust of bread, being boil’d. drain them from the water, and fry them in
sweet sallet oil; being fried serve them in a dish with oil, vinegar,
pepper, and fried parsley, or fry them in clarified butter.

Here in An Tir we are blessed with plenty of wild sources, but it is
always best to only gather wild mushrooms with a trained mycologist (or
get your ownself trained up.) as some highly toxic varieties are almost
identical to desirable and tasty species.  (I know there is a
Mycological Society in Kitsap County and I imagine there is one near you
as well. They often have shows and sponsor classes or at least you might
find a mushrooming buddy.)

The Menagier de Paris (Translator Janet Hinson) gives us some advice on
picking mushrooms along with a few suggestions for cooking them.

MUSHROOMS of one night are the best, and are small and red inside,
closed above: and they should be peeled, then wash in hot water and
parboil; if you wish to put them in pastry, add oil, cheese and powdered
spices.

Item, put them between two dishes over the coals, and add a little salt,
cheese and powdered spices. You can find them at the end of May a

It's not indexed in medievalcookery.com, but it deserves wider acclaim, so I'll

I'd like to thank Johnnae for send us the that nice selection of German
Mushroom recipes.  That was a new resource for me and I'm sure there are
many more collections like it that are for some reason not commonly
available. I'd certainly like to see more of them.

For our recipes this week I've turned back to another out Vehling's
translation of de re cocquinaria I know we looked at a few earlier, but
I wanted to compare that to the second of our recipes this week which
comes from the much later, Anonimo Toscano.

Slice the mushroom stems and finish by covering them with eggs adding
pepper, lovage, a little honey, broth and oil to taste.

Mushrooms.

Well, here we are at the end of the month.  Just a few more mushroom
recipes and then I'll be taking a hiatus from Recipe of the Week for the
holiday season. (Frankly, I get so behind on these that I end up missing
a lot of weeks this time of year. I though it best just to take the time
off instead of disappointing anyone.)

And what a lot of holidays there are!! And so many for foodies!

Some December Holidays:
   December 1st:  Eat A Red Apple Day and National Pie Day We could
combine them and make a red apple pie?
December 2nd: National Fritters Day
December 4th: National Cookie Day
December 7th: National Cotton Candy Day
December 8th:  National Brownie Day
December 11th: National Noodle Ring Day
December 13th: National Cocoa Day
December 16th: Boston Tea Party Anniversary Okay not really a party but
there was tea. sort of?   Plus we get National Chocolate Covered

December 23rd:Roots Day  Could that be root vegetables?
December 24th: National Egg Nog Day
December 25th:National Pumpkin Pie Day
December 28th: Chewing Gum Patented In 1869. Plus National Chocolate Day
December 29th:Pepper Pot Day

But back to mushrooms...

It is often unclear in most of our recipes whether the mushrooms were
fresh or dried but here are two that specify dried mushrooms.

First from the Translation of Libro di cucina/ Libro per cuoco
(14th/15th c.)  (Anonimo Veneziano) by Helewyse de Birkestad, OL  (MKA
Louise Smithson)

   XXV Mushrooms
If you want to make mushrooms, take dried mushrooms and put them to soak
in hot water and wash them well.  Then boil them a little and make them
cook how you want and prefer.  Then take onions and herbs and season
with strong and sweet spices, and then add the mushrooms and fry
everything together.  Take unpeeled almonds and grind them and then put
on top of the mushroom dish, alternatively you can add verjuice and it
needs to be served hot.

   From Anonimo Toscano, Libro della Cocina  The Cookery Book,  late 14th
or early 15th c. Translated by Vittoria Aureli

[62] Another preparation. Take dried mushrooms, and let them soften from
evening until morning; and throw the water away, slice them thin with a
knife, and a bit of the white part of a leek, or onion, and set them to
fry in oil or lard and spices and chestnuts and vinegar, and a bit of
water and salt. And then add mustard and cooked must, and pork, if it
pleases you.




We’ll finish up with a mushroom subtlety that includes absolutely no
mushrooms but rather makes an almond paste mushroom with the help of a
mold.

Cookbook of Sabina Welserin translator Valoise Armstrong.

51 Almond chanterelles
Pound the almonds, as you would to make marzipan, put sugar thereon, but
not too much, take after that the chanterelle mushroom mold, clean it
and take a small brush, dip it in almond oil and brush the mold with it,
also with a brush of rose water. And put the almond paste into the
mushroom mold and blow through the tube [so that the almond mushroom
falls] onto a sheet of paper, and let it bake in a tart pan and sprinkle
it with starch flour, then they will be white.

Thanks for everything and may you all have a happy and healthy holiday
season. Good cooking

A new year and a new subject. Did you think I forgot you?

Which came first? The Chicken or the Egg?  Well, this year it’s the egg.
   Eggs are integral ingredients in practically every cuisine.
The Tacuinum Sanitatis contains entries on chicken, goose, and ostrich
eggs.  The eggs of duck and other domestic foul such as, guineas and
peacock would certainly have been available.  The eggs of wild birds
were also collected.
Eggs were used as binders, leavening agents, to color and glaze, to thin
and thicken, as stuffing and garnish in Medieval cookery.  This month
we’ll be looking at recipes featuring eggs in a starring role.
3rd
This week we’ll look at some variations on stuffed eggs.  These recipes
show up in a variety of cultures. They share the basic plan of a hard
boiled egg. sliced in two, the yolk scooped out and combined with herbs,
spices, sometimes cheese, raw eggs, and other seasonings. But first you
have to boil the eggs.
Le Menagier de Paris (Janet Hinson Translation, available on line)
offers this familiar advice on boiling eggs:
A Note on the Nature of Eggs. Put them on to cook in boiling water and
the yolk will not be hard, so long as you have not first put them in
cold water: but if you put them in cold water and then incontinently
into boiling water, they will surely harden. Item, if you put them in
boiling water and leave them on the fire, they will always get hard.
Item, hard or soft, if as soon as they are cooked, you put them in cold
water, they will be easier to peel.
And once your eggs are boiled you can stuff them.  Most of you are
probably familiar with farced eggs or split nuns but you might not have
seen these from southern Europe.
  From Italy both the Toscano and the Venezianna offer versions.
  From the Toscana Note that the author references other methods of
cooking eggs so well known that nothing need be said of them.
Stuffed eggs.
[140] Take eggs, boil them and peel them, and cut each one in half, and
take out the yolk; and taking marjoram, saffron and cloves, mix them
with said egg yolks, and pound them well, adding grated cheese: and for
every eight eggs dilute with one raw egg; and when this is done, from
this sauce fill the gaps in the eggs and fry them in good lard; and eat,
adding to it the sauce called French verjuice. Fried, roasted, and
beaten [scrambled?] eggs are so well known that nothing need be said
about them.
And from Veneziano
XLVII Stuffed eggs
If you want to make stuffed eggs.  Take the eggs and put them to boil
and make sure that they are hard cooked.  When they are cooked pull them
out (of the hot water) and put them in cold water.  Peel and slice (the
eggs) in half and remove the yolk (reserve).  Take the fattest sweetest
cheese that you have.  Take the best herbs that you have, peel them
(from the stalk) wash and grind them together in a mortar.  When they
(the herbs) are well ground take the egg yolks, the cheese and spices
and put them in the mortar with the good herbs.  Grind all these things
together to make a fine paste and temper (mix) with raw eggs until it is
good (has the right consistency).  Meanwhile put a frying pan over the
fire.  Take the egg halves and stuff with the paste (of egg yolks and
cheese) and put them to cook (in the frying pan).  When they are cooked
remove from the pan and powder them with sugar before serving them hot
to the table.  And if you want to serve them savory take them (without
sugaring them), etc.
An Anonymous Andalusian Cookbook of the 13th Century(Charles Perry
Translation as available on line) offers these two variations.  Note the
technique of slicing the eggs with a thread and refastening the halves
together with a stick.
The Making of Stuffed Eggs
Take as many eggs as you like, and boil them whole in hot water; put
them in cold water and split them in half with a thread. Take the yolks
aside and pound cilantro and put in onion juice, pepper and coriander,
and beat all this together with murri, oil and salt and knead the yolks
with this until it forms a dough. Then stuff the whites with this and
fasten it together, insert a small stick into each egg, and sprinkle
them with pepper, God willing.
Stuffed Eggs
Cook eggs, remove the shells and cut them in half. Remove the yolks, put
together in a platter and throw on them cilantro, onion juice, spices
and cinnamon; and it will become a paste with which you will stuff the
eggs. Tie them with thread and hold them with a small stick. Dissolve
some egg white and grease them with it along with a little saffron, and
dust with fine flour and fry with fresh oil on an even fire, and when
finished, sprinkle with chopped rue and serve. Make a sauce with the
filling and sprinkle with spikenard and cinnamon, God willing.[94]

And on a final note;  I recently tuned into an episode of Jacques Pepin,
and there he was cooking up a recipe his mother had taught him that he
called Eggs Jeanette.  Hard boiled eggs, filled with a mixture of cooked
yolk, fresh herbs and fried in butter.   Hmm, where I have I seen that
before?

Happy Twelfth Night!  Since we are so busy just now we will keep things
short . Last week we looked at some recipes starting with hard boiled
eggs.  This week I have a trio of recipes that also cook the egg in the
shell but  open the shell at some point during the process and may add
other ingredients during cooking.

The first comes from the egg chapter in Le Menagier de Paris (Janet
Hinson Translation, available on line):

HELMET EGGS. Break open the end of the shell and empty out the white,
leaving the yolk inside, set this shell on a tile, the hole upwards.

The next two come from German sources; the first from  Ein Kochbuch aus
dem Archiv des Deutschen Ordens, A 15th century cookbook from East
Prussia translated by Giano Balestriere (Also on on-line_

[[32]] Wilthu machenn groþ Eyer:
so seudt die Eirtotter weig und mach dann inn ein iglichs Ey ein

Schmalcz und mach es nytt zu hertt und full es wider in die Schalenn
und seudt sye wider und schel sy dann schˆnn und machs ein guete Prue.

If you wish to make large eggs
Boil the egg yolks soft, cut off the tip of each egg and pour out the
yolk. Chop parsley, mix it with the yolks, throw it in lard and do not
cook it too hard. Fill this back into the shells and boil them well,
then shell them and make a good broth (to serve with it).

And one more from the cookbook of Sabina Welserin as translated by
Valoise Armstrong ( available on line)

52 To make turned out eggs
Open the egg on the tip and mix the yolk and the white, also a little
salt, together. If you would like, you can stir some ginger into it.
Next pour it in fat, so that everything falls out and the shell remains
intact.

Well, I need to go pack my bag for Portland so that’s all for this week.

They say you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.  This week we
have a few variations on the omelet.

First off we find the French don’t let us down. Here are a couple of
versions from Le Menagier de Paris (Janet Hinson Translation, available
on line):

OMELETTE FRIED WITH SUGAR. Take out all the whites and beat the yolks,
then put some sugar in a frying-pan and let it melt, and then fry your
yolks in it, then put on a plate, with sugar on them.

TO MAKE A FINE OMELETTE WITH EGGS. Take seven eggs and remove the whites
from two and put those in a bowl, and break all the others and beat with
the two extra yolks, and fry; and it will be yellow.
Or, take six or twelve eggs and remove the whites and beat the yolks,
and fry in oil, and let it be well spread out over the skillet, and cut
in lozenges, and each lozenge should be turned over with the flipper,
then put on the plate half an omelette fried in the ordinary way and
four lozenges of these yolks, and some of the sugar sort fried in the
ordinary way.

Maestro Martino also contributes a few:

Eggs on the Grill
Beat two fresh eggs together and heat an empty pan until very hot; and
drop the beaten eggs into the pan, allowing them to spread all over the
pan, in the same manner as for a frittata as thin as paper. When they
appear to be done, fold into four quarters so that it is square just
like a little box.  Placeit on the grill, breaking over it as many fresh
eggs as you think it is able to hol on top, and apply moderate hear from
below and above like a torte, topping with sugar and cinnamon; and when
it appears to you that the eggs have taken, remove from the grill and
serve together with their square beneath them.

Eggs in a Pan
Put some good butter into small pans or copper pans and heat slightly;
and take some previously prepared fresh egg yolks, separated from the
whites., if you prefer, and cook them in the pan, topping with some
sugar and cinnamon,; apply moderate heat from below and above, making
sure that they do not overcook. Then top with a little orange juice or
rose water.

Next week we’ll look at some egg and herb dishes.

On the Martino recipe - We tried this at AnTir West War this year. 
Be very careful when you try to remove the eggs from the grill. 
And the grill bars must be close enough together so as to not slip through the cracks. 
Much fun was had. 
Not quite as much as spitting eggs, but it was still fun!

Greetings,
      What's PPF, you ask? It's short of Perfectly Period Feast, where everything visible in the hall including the plates, cutlery, glassware, linens, and even  proper servers (butlers, panters, carvers, etc.) are all appropriate to the time and place chosen.
      We are slowly, year by year moving closer to this in An Tir, with an event in the Barony of Dragon's Mist, Carnevale di Venezia, which is now in it's 4th year. So far, documentable forks and spoons have been found, that were cast from extant originals from the appropriate time and place, and plates have been painted based on Italian examples from the late 1500's.
    We are starting slowly, and first working on equiping the head table with everything appropriate to that time and place, and eventually hope to add all of the appropriate servers, who will all be dressed appropriately. We would eventually like to add a German Renaissance event that builds in the same way, although the details are still very, very tentative.
 
What we are hoping for is that if others are interested in either Italian, or German late period culture and food join us and work on producing material goods that they can keep, and bring to help add to the atmosphere (by using them). As we build on this we are hoping to come up with new ways to help spread the knowledge, joy, and cost among as many people as possible. :) If you have a persona that this would be appropriate for and would like to own a feasting set that is historically accurate, and potentially personalized we can not only help build toward (eventually) being able to outfit an entire feast, and spreading historically accuracy in a fun and affordable way across the kingdom.  
 
You can contact me, Raffaella, if you might be interested in attending or hosting a work party for pottery, pewter casting (currently looking for someone with experience using Room Temperature Volcanized Rubber molds) woodworking, knowledge about German Renaissance serving and dining rules and etiquete.

I am VERY interested in this project. I am a "noob" in SCA and have chosen a German (Bavarian) persona. My intention is to do as total immersion in my persona as possible and am presently looking for anything at all about the "life & times" of early 16th Century Bavarian gentry ... women's lives particularly.
 
I am in Beaverton (Dragon's Mist), OR. I am on Social Security so $$ is an issue so I am trying to do it "on the cheap" while being as accurate to period as possible. I can't travel very far very often and, as I'd probably be sleeping in my van or a tent, it would be best if the weather were a bit warmer than now. ;)
 
My daughter-in-law and I are trying to start a costume business and I will be concentrating my part on historically correct garb if that is of any consequence to the project. I have done wood carving, bronze casting, oil painting, sculpting as well as the usual domestic arts so I have a very versatile skill set to pull from when it comes to helping with the project.
 
My SCA name (pending) is Ayla Tröstalltin.
 
If I can be of any help let me know (& if you have info you think will help me flesh out my persona don't be afraid to pass that along too.
 
In service,
Kathy Grassley aka Ayla Tröstalltin

Greetings,
      What's PPF, you ask? It's short of Perfectly Period Feast, where everything visible in the hall including the plates, cutlery, glassware, linens, and even  proper servers (butlers, panters, carvers, etc.) are all appropriate to the time and place chosen.

Eggs and herbs were a natural combination to our Medieval forebears and
examples are easy to find.

  From Ein Kochbuch aus dem Archiv des Deutschen Ordens is A 15th century
cookbook from East Prussia. English translated by Giano Balestriere. We
have:

If you want to make a good /weyschen/ cake
(paralleled in Meister Eberhard as /meyschen/ (May) cake)
take up to ten eggs, break them well, add parsley and stir it all
together. Take a mortar, place it on the embers, and put a spoonful of
lard in it to heat. Pour the eggs into it and bake it cooly (gently) and
serve it, not oversalted.

The Le Menagier de Paris provides several types:

TANSY EGGS. Grind a little ginger and some tansy, and moisten with
vinegar, strain and put in a dish of whole, peeled hard-cooked eggs.

(Recipes for Tansies appear in several cookbooks. Tansy was long grown
for medicinal purposes but also used as a flavoring in a variety of
applications besides eggs. Today it is considered to have some toxicity
especially for the liver and can be quite dangerous when ingested by
animals.  It was once used as an abortificant.
It has yellow button-like flowers and grows wild along roadsides
locally, one of several yellow wildflowers you see and is listed as a
noxious weed in Washington.  .  Always use caution in using any herb or
other ingredient that is no longer in common usage.  Often there is a
very good reason no one uses them anymore. And the listing of any
ingredient here is not to be construed as an endorsement of that
ingredient as safe.  I have not done any research on Tansy other than a
cursory search.)

A far more interesting recipe is this one also from the Menagier.  I
keep thinking I’ll take a whack at this one but never quite get to it at
Junefaire.

HERB DISH IN PASTRY COOKED IN THE SKILLET. Beat, grind and mix together
your eggs and herbs and a piece of ginger as said before, then have some
pastry kneaded as though for the bottom of a pie, and heat your skillet
with oil or other grease: then put your kneaded pastry in the bottom of
the skillet, then put in your pie filling along with a sufficient amount
of grated cheese. And since the underside, that is the pastry which
forms the bottom of the tart, will be cooked before the top side is
barely heated, you should have another skillet the bottom of which has
been heated, wiped and cleaned, and let this skillet be filled with hot
coals, and put it inside the first skillet, on and touching the filling,
so that it may be heated and cooked till dry till both filling and
pastry are done.

Good Cooking

Here we are at the end of the month and what else but a pie and  a
little something special for Lent.

The Cookbook of Sabina Welserin has a number of recipes designated as
egg tarts. Most combine the eggs with milk or cream to make a custard,
But here’s one that features almonds and rice.

129 An egg tart with beaten eggs
Take eight eggs for a repast and beat them well and prepare them as for
an egg dish. Take a half handful of blanched almonds, pound them small
and put rose water therein, take a half handful of rice and let it cook
a little, pour it on a cloth, so that it drains, and pound it with the
almonds, take the beaten eggs and mix them also into it. Put cinnamon
therein, pour it on a small pastry shell, let it bake nicely, so that it
becomes brown, and when you will bring it to the table, then sprinkle it
with cinnamon.

This Lenten version of fried eggs comes from Inntalkochbuch  A late 15th
or early 16th century recipe collection from Bavaria. Translated by
Giano Balestriere, it is available on line in Stefan's Florilegium.

Fried eggs during Lent
Take blanched almonds, grind them up and pass through a cloth with
water. Boil in a pan like a /mus/ until it thickens. Take fat /Hausen/
[a freshwater fish of the sturgeon variety, now almost unobtainable],
vut it into cubes and fry it in a pan like fat bacon, remove the fried
bits and put the almond puree into the fat. Spread it out with a spoon
and colour spots (lit. 'eyes') on it like yolks. Press the fried bits of
fish into the white part between the yolks, sprinkle it with sugar, and
keep it warm until you serve it.

Next Month we will be looking at recipe featuring members of the onion
famiily. Til then, Good Cooking  Rycheza

Just what you need for Valentine's day, recipes for onions!  Okay so
maybe that wasn't very good planning but eat them with your loved one.

Onions are one of our oldest vegetables.   While exact origins are hotly
debated, onions have been cultivated for at least 5000 years. They are
referred to in Vedic documents from India and were well known in Egypt.
Evidence of onions growing gardens has been found in Pompeii.

They will grow all over Europe and were found already growing wild in
the Americas when Europeans arrived here.

Besides culinary applications, onions were also used as medicine in a
large variety of remedies.

Das Kochbuch des Meisters Eberhard,a 15th century recipe collection and
dietetics text from the court of Bayern-Landshut makes these notes on
them:  (English Translation by Giano Balestriere).

Onions are hot in the fourth degree and moist in the third and cause
unchastity and headaches. To those who eat them raw they cause bad
moisture and great thirst.

Hmm unchastity, maybe not such a bad idea for Valentines Day.

Apicius quotes Varro on onions(Bulbs) thusly:

Cooked in water they are conducive to love and are therefore also served
at wedding feasts, but also seasoned with pignolia nut or with the juice
of colewort, or mustard, and pepper.  (This Roman recipe is from de re
coquinaria, English translation from Vehling’s Apicius Cookery and
Dining in Imperial Rome, 1936, Dover reprint 1977.  Extent copies from
the eighth century.  The text is various believed to date to the fourth
century or as early as the first of the common era.)


  From a little later in Italy we find this recipe:


Onions
[22] Take onions sliced and washed well in hot water, and set them to
cook with meat and cheese, pepper, and saffron; and then add beaten
eggs, pepper and saffron, if you like, and spices on the plate.

( From Anonimo Toscano, Libro della Cocina, The Cookery Book dates to
the  late 14th or early 15th c. The English translation is the work of
Vittoria Aureli from the digital version of the original: posted by
Thomas Gloning )

Well let's stop here for the week before I get a little too long winded.

I am looking for documentation/information on pre-17th century Boucan, the meat smoking process used by the Arawak Indians of the Carribean Islands.  We all know the story of how the Arawak Indians taught the process to French sailors in the late 17th Century, who called themselves Boucanierres (French for "smokers of meat") which later got bastardized to Buccaneers.  But in my research on Boucanierres, I keep seeing that the Arawak Indians shared this process with other European sailors they had come into contact with, all the way back to Columbus and his crew.  But these are all hearsay, and tertiary or greater sources.  I can not find any Primary or secondary sources to back this up, any suggestions?

I am looking for documentation/information on pre-17th century Boucan, the meat smoking process used by the Arawak Indians of the Carribean Islands.  We all know the story of how the Arawak Indians taught the process to French sailors in the late 17th Century, who called themselves Boucanierres (French for "smokers of meat") which later got bastardized to Buccaneers.  But in my research on Boucanierres, I keep seeing that the Arawak Indians shared this process with other European sailors they had come into contact with, all the way back to Columbus and his crew.  But these are all hearsay, and tertiary or greater sources.  I can not find any Primary or secondary sources to back this up, any suggestions?

Yeah! Looking forward to seeing Eduardo's entries.  We do have space
reserved for a Guild display.  And as it turns out I will be able to
attend so I can wrangle things there.  But we do need stuff to display.
(And I could use some help at the table.)  I know Raffaella volunteered
some items.  I'll bring some of the DL Cookbooks.  Anyone else have
cookbooks or other items that could be displayed? Would love to have
some stuff about Culinary Symposium.  Is your group having an event with
a culinary tie-in like a feast?

I would like to bring some cooking pots. How much table space would you like me to cover?

I think some cooking pots would be great!  I am not really sure how big
the tables are ( I suppose I could ask.  My only excuse for being off
pace with this is that I am behind on a number of spring projects due to
a looming family thing that has been gratefully postponed til fall.)
I imagine we will have something between four and eight feet. So maybe
if you planned on bringing about two feet of pots, that would give us
enough to spread to make a good showing if we have a lot of space but
still not overwhelm us with a smaller space. Or whatever you feel
comfortable with.  I know you have a ways to come while we are only
commuting about an hour from DL.
Thanks
