Clarissa And The Kings Cookbook (3 of 3)

Glad Clarissa is still going strong. She's as intellectual and warm and ineresting as ever.

I thoroughly recommend her autobio - Spilling the Beans.

Man I hope the medieval history never ever dies out in years to come. I love that lifestyle and the foods.

At least one of the musical numbers, "Pase el agoa" (played to accompany the serving of the egurdouce of fish), is from the c.1500 Cancionero de Palacio, about 100 years later than the cookbook. I didn't recognize any of the other pieces.

This is so great! I love how this was done.

Clarissa rocks! I wish they would show these programs on BBC/America as they are so interesting! Actually, those foods they ate look pretty healthy by today's standards. Lots of fiber (pears, grapes, etc.), grilled meats, fish sautéed in olive oil. Better than the deep-fried stuff all around now.

I love Clarissa - she is obviously so passionate about what she does, go her. :)

There is a Medieval Persian fish recipe with a sauce called sibagh which is very similar to this except the sauce is pureed.

Excellent posting! History comes alive. This old document still works!
