Constance B. Hieatt Libri

Adapts over one hundred authentic medieval recipes to the ingredients and equipment of the modern kitchen, providing an abundance of simple and elaborate soups, side and main dishes, stews, and desserts

The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully-decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death.
