Some of you are probably familiar with the Miscellany that Elizabeth 
and I have self-published for some decades now. It contains lots of 
worked out period recipes, articles on how to build things, poetry, 
and other stuff.

We have just brought out the cooking section of it as a separate 
book, a Print On Demand book available from Amazon:

How to Milk an Almond, Stuff an Egg, and Armor a Turnip: A Thousand 
Years of Recipes

It contains about 330 recipes, mostly 13-15th c. 
English/French/Italian and Islamic, but a few from India and China 
and a few from much earlier or somewhat later sources.

It's availabe from Amazon, or directly from CreateSpace, which is 
Amazon's POD subsidiary. For the latter:

https://www.createspace.com/3565795

Doing it as online POD means I never have to fill another order, 
which will be wonderful. On our experience so far, CreateSpace makes 
self publishing easy and inexpensive--if people have questions I'll 
be happy to answer them.

While I will be happy to have people buy copies, the reason for this 
message is to warn them that we are also bringing out the entire 
Miscellany through the same mechanism, although it isn't quite ready 
yet--hopefully before Pennsic. Part I of the Miscellany will be 
essentially identical to _How to Milk an Almond. I don't want people 
to buy both and then discover that they have just duplicated one of 
the two.

Incidentally, both a jpg of the cookbook and the current draft of the 
10th edition Miscellany are also available, for free, from my web 
page.

Feel free to pass the information on to anyone interested.
