Forme of Cury with Christopher Monk
In episode two of the second season Neil chats to food
historian, chef and scholar Dr Christopher Monk about the first cookbook
written in the English language: Forme of Cury. We talked about –
amongst other things – who wrote it and use it in the first place, the familiar
ingredients and recipes inside the manuscript, blancmange and how to approach
cooking ‘authentic’ medieval cuisine.
