The Tudor Cookbook: From Gilded Peacock to Calves Feet Pie

Did you ever wonder what the Tudors ate and drank?
What was Anne Boleyn's favorite tipple?
Which pies did Henry VIII gorge on to go from a 32 to a 54-inch waist?

The Tudor Cookbook provides over 250 recipes from authentic period manuals for starters, mains, deserts and drinks, from swan-neck soup to roasted-alive goose. It even covers vegetarian dishes - the Tudors designed dishes of vegetables to look like meat to be cooked during religious festivals when abstinence from meat was required. The recipes have all been trialed (apart from the illegal swan-based dishes) and include guidence on measurements.
