The Forme of Cury
The Forme of Cury is the name antiquarian Samuel Pegge gave a curious collection of texts he prepared for publication dating from the 1390's in the form of a roll of manuscripts assembled by the master cooks of King Richard II. Apparently, this assemblage of old recipes had once in bygone days been presented as a gift to Queen Elizabeth I by Edward Lord Stafford. I like to think that she had her kitchen staff try to whip up one of the old dishes that very night.

Flamingo in the Home Kitchen
As likely as one is to find the Ancients' taste for chowing down on flamingo's tongues and otters noses lampooned in all cultural representations of Rome, rarely do we see a portrayal of an authentic dish from the period. However, a massive collection of recipes from antiquity has survived under the name De Re Coquinaria, attributed to a certain Marcus Gavius Apicius who lived in the 1st Century A.D. For the adventurous home-cook, this book can allow you to entertain like an Emperor and give your guests a gustatory experience they will always remember.
