A friend of mine just spent several years researching an old tudor cook book and finally has her own cook book out about the experience. It is called "Big Buttes Book" because she was visiting a book written by Henry Buttes ... the website says:
In 1599, Henry Buttes wrote a slightly comical cookbook for the Bacon family to raise funds for the construction of a church.
For the first time in modern history you may review Buttes’ eight course feast based on the Elizabethan humours, edited for the modern kitchen. Original recipes, commentary on the medieval humours of each main ingredient, stories to amuse a Tudor noble, and explanations of Buttes’ dry witticisms (plus a comprehensive glossary) make this book both the resource and discussion piece of your explorations into Tudor cuisine.
For those who like to experiment with cooking and want to have some historical fun playing in the kitchen or at the campfire, this book is for you.
