The University of Manchester has put a medieval cookbook on the internet. The "Forme of Cury" was written by Richard II's master chef and includes recipes for porpoise in broth (shown above)and blancmange. More details and video here, and the cookery book itself (along with many other precious manuscripts) can be found here. Please let the blog know if you try any of the recipes.
UPDATE: The "Supersizers" covered Medieval food on BBC2 on Monday. You can catch the episode here.
