Résumé

The Forme of Cury: A Roll of Ancient English Cookery Compiled is one of the oldest and most significant cookbooks in the English language, originally compiled by the master cooks of King Richard II of England in the late 14th century. This remarkable manuscript offers a fascinating glimpse into the culinary practices, tastes, and social customs of medieval England's royal court. The book contains over 190 recipes, ranging from elaborate meat dishes and savory pies to sweet confections and spiced wines, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the era's aristocratic dining.
Each recipe is presented in Middle English, providing not only instructions for preparation but also insight into the ingredients, techniques, and presentation valued by medieval chefs. The dishes often feature exotic spices such as saffron, ginger, and cinnamon, which were prized commodities at the time, and demonstrate the influence of continental and Middle Eastern cuisines on English cookery. The Forme of Cury is more than a collection of recipes; it is a historical document that reveals the interconnectedness of food, culture, and society in medieval England.
This edition, made available by Project Gutenberg, includes a detailed introduction, glossary, and notes to help modern readers understand the language and context of the original text. Whether you are a culinary historian, a lover of food, or simply curious about the past, The Forme of Cury offers a unique and authentic window into the kitchens of medieval royalty, preserving the flavors and traditions of a bygone age for generations to come.
