BACK COVER
After many centuries, the medieval culinary tradition, with its riot of colors, scents and ingredients, offers cooks and gourmands of all times forgotten flavors capable of constituting precious sources of inspiration.
Always divided between the spiritual ideal of the mortification of the body and the exaltation of the senses, medieval culture also shows its contradiction in the kitchen, a privileged place both for the preservation of the health of the body and soul as for the excess and the pleasure of living.
A recipe book that talks about cooking and food culture, through a philological study of literary and iconographic sources between the 13th and 14th centuries.
