"TO KEEP COOKED SIDES OF PORK OR BEEF OR TENDERLOINS
CALLUM PORCINUM VEL BUBULUM ET UNGUELLÆ COCTÆ UT DIU DURENT
PLACE THEM IN A PICKLE OF MUSTARD, VINEGAR, SALT AND HONEY, COVERING MEAT ENTIRELY, AND WHEN READY TO USE YOU’LL BE SURPRISED.
V. Method still popular today for pickling raw meats. The originals treat of cooked meats (Tor. nucula elixa; G.-V. unguellæ coctæ; Tac. nucella cocta).
Dispensing with the honey, we use more spices, whole pepper, cloves, bay leaves, also onions and root vegetables. Sometimes a little sugar and wine is added to this preparation which the French call marinade and the Germans Sauerbraten-Einlage."

"On the eve of #Shavuot, a fascinating document recently acquired by the National Library offers a glimpse at some of the earliest #cheesecakes documented in #culinary #literature. It is a rare copy of what is believed to be the first #kosher #cookbook ever published.

The #book, published in 1846, is titled The #Jewish Manual of Modern #Cookery, With a Collection of Valuable #Recipes & Hints Relating to the Toilette. It was written in English and published anonymously under the credit “A Lady.”

Although there is no conclusive proof, researchers attribute the book to Lady #JudithMontefiore for several reasons..."

Made a macaroni tuna meal yesterday and I had a stale corner of bread I made earlier in the week which I grated and put on top of the dish then added sliced tomato and sliced pickled jalapeno then a layer of cheese before putting it in the over and can confirm that it was superb and I will make it that way again, maybe for all casserole type dishes, also got my cheese sauce on point with bay leaves and mustard, three cheeses, butter and milk and herbes de provence. #cookery

My wife is making a stew from a #NigellaLawson recipe book. I chose the recipe, but I didn’t read it that closely.
The recipe makes 8 servings, but calls for an entire bottle of white wine, and 2.5 kg of lamb. At today’s prices that’s about £75 just for the two ingredients.
Also the way the book is laid out is terrible, and the recipe takes 3 days to cook.
