RWA Workshop Resources

[hsifeng]

I am going to start webbing some site I have found with good content. These will all be food related and will end up in the workshop bibliography if I use any of their content in the final class. I am going to keep adding to this same entry (to keep it all in one place for my ease of access), so keep checking back if you are interested.

General Reference at www.netlibrary.com & www.books.google.com/

www.godecookery.com The main source, I will list specific sections of the site that I have interest in using below this point:

www.wikipedia.org There are a number of entries that I have been seeing in The Land of Wiki that I think I will use. They are inventoried below:
                   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_and_abstinence_in_the_Roman_Catholic_Church 
                   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent
 
http://goldenlyon.org/cgkit.html#Cucina_per_campagna_stores  (this totally makes me want to do an *actual* cooking workshop...)  This site includes a list of the food prepared for the workshop including spices, sauces, etc. Seems pretty consistent with my information on the items commonly found in medieval cookbooks - Powder Forte, Verijuice, etc. - perhaps could be used for 'feast' reference with some information for common herbages as well. There is a ton of inforamtion on camp cooking that this group appears to have compiled in various PDF's in other sections of the site.  Might even use some of the same sauces as sample foods, with bread for dipping.

DHF Internal 'Food Porn - Reformation Style' thread: Viewable to members of the Guild only (sorry!).  Found these (still working!) old links from prior research in here:
        Francesco Sirene, Spicer - for purchases of supplies
        http://www.katjaorlova.com/MedievalKitchenEquipment.htm - overview of kitchen goods and how order was maintained in large period kitchens (clip art of kitchen impliments)
        http://www.keskiaika.org/kirjasto/food/preparation.htm - more kitchen info and food preservation including information on wine that I would like to include
        The Consumption of Spices and Their Costs in Late-Medieval and Early-Modern Europe

An lj note: You can add tags to entries that allow you to categorize them, so that you can search related entries quickly. Before you get too many entries, you might want to go through the couple you've made and edit them to add the tag, so that later you can just click and go.

Oh,I have them tagged. I just like having all of my info on this in *one* entry so I can see all the information and replies in one place.
