Ebook: Food in Medieval Times (Food through History)

I love books on historical cooking, and really looked forward to reading Food in Medieval times. I thought this book is an excellent resource of cooking, and it is a definate resource on common ingredients. I have one issue with the book, it is the first chapter, ingredients are described in detail, extreme detail, but the first chapter reads more like a glossary, I wished this chapter would have been the last chapter, and not the first. Going through the first chapter is a bit of a challenge, as you want to get into the cooking, and then learn about the ingredients. The book is clearly written and easy to read. Looking for a resource on medieval cooking? I would suggest picking up this book if you are looking for resource information, no recipes are included, but I really like how dishes are writen about, in reading this book, I know exactly what would sit on an individual's table depending upon their status in life. Well worth picking up if medieval cooking suits your fancy.
