The recipe is written in list form down the page including amounts of flour, butter, sugar, eggs and currents and the direction to have the “Oven not to Hot”. On the right hand page is a recipe for ‘Pork pies’. It reads “1/2lb crust paste, 6oz meat, to 1lb pie & so on.”

Saginaw has long been known for its hospital systems--and at one point--its affiliated nursing school at Saginaw General. Today, nursing students in Saginaw receive their training at Delta and SVSU, but Saginaw has remained a major medical arena. #historicrecipes

A miniature from Gaston Phebus' Book of the Hunt: A group of hunters, their leader mounted, three on foot armed with crossbows, approach a herd of deer in a forest, preparing their weapons.
I have more on my plate than usual, hence the #historicrecipes are becoming rarer. Today, venison pastry from Staindl's 1547 cookbook and a fifteenth century parallel.

This is very emphatically not carp in black sauce, but a 5-4-3-2-1 berry cake I made for my hosts while travelling. The topping is a mix of storebought and gathered berries. They are placed on a layer of vanilla custard ('Vanillepudding') and held in place by being topped with sweetened gelatin ('Tortenguss'). The base is a child-friendly quick mixture of 5 tablespoons of flour, four of sugar, three whole eggs, two tablespoons of oil, one of vinegar, and a teaspoon of baking powder. More complex methods produce superior results, but this is quick, easy, and foolproof. Such are the delights of summer when travelling with an eight-year-old

Some #historicrecipes are obscure, enigmatic, incomplete, or so poorly written they are near impossible to interpret. This one is scrambled eggs, but in 1547.
