[Ponte Alto] Weekly Rundown- 2/7

[Mariana Ruiz de Medina]

Happy Monday Ponte Alto!

Congratulations to all our Uni staff members, teachers, and TA's for
another resounding success this last weekend. I hope everyone was able to
attend at least a small part, and learn something new.

We are a week or so into our Savory food block and I wanted to share a
recipe of the week as well as a resource for all those who weren't able to
join us last week. MedievalCookery.com is one of my go-to resources for
recipes from all over the world, both translations and redactions. This
week's recipe of the week is from Germany (thinking ahead to our next
block) and *Ein Buch von guter speise
<http://www.medievalcookery.com/etexts/buch.html>. *This recipe, called
King's Chicken (number 28), is a spiced and roasted chicken dish featuring
some classic spices found in our period: anise, ginger, and saffron. What
makes this recipe fun is that different translations give you very
different results! One translation by Melitta Anderson
<https://www.worldcat.org/title/daz-buch-von-guter-spise-the-book-of-good-food-a-study-edition-and-english-translation-of-the-oldest-german-cookbook/oclc/717562076>
has
the dish almost casserole or pie like
<http://medievalcookery.com/recipes/kingschicken.html>, with a ground
chicken filling. Another translation (linked above in the book title) does
not include this grinding, but instead has larger pieces of chicken that
are then roasted with the eggs and herbs.
