Recipes

There are many sources for period recipes. Most of these recipes don't give very clear directions for amounts of ingredients, cooking times, etc. Many people are more comfortable with versions which have been worked out to resemble modern recipes with specific instructions, but some "instinctive cooks" are able to work directly from the medieval recipes with ease. The process of modernising a recipe is known as redaction.
