       "The great advantage for students of medieval English cookery is
       that there is an identifiable corpus of evidence in the
       manuscripts that have survived to the present day. Although
       there may be some new discoveries, in general terms the corpus
       is relatively stable. The beauty of this book is that it
       addresses the corpus as a whole and abstracts from it paradigm
       recipes for every medieval dish that we know about. With this
       book therefore a student can ask ‘How did they cook rabbit
       stew?’ and find a definitive answer, in modern English, with
       full references. This is a great step forward and the book will
       stand as a monument to the untiring efforts of the late
       Constance Hieatt to understand and interpret English cookery of
       the middle ages. The book is organised by category of dish
       (Pottage; Meat Dishes; Poultry and Game Birds; Fish; Eggs and
       Dairy Dishes; Sauces and Condiments, and Baked Dishes). "
