Forme of Cury, which was written in 1390 in Middle English, details more than 200 recipes that were cooked in the royal household, including blank mang (a sweet dish of meat, milk, sugar and almonds) and mortrews (ground and spiced pork)


1390!!! crazy! I cant make out a word but I love that this recipe book has survived and is being so diligently taken care of and now recorded. Trying to find some more information on this and maybe find out if these dishes have been adapted and stayed in everyday use. Keep you posted!
