This room is amazingly cluttered. You glance back through the door at the quiet stone passageway through which you came. Still, the energy and variety of interests and details draws you forward into this room. Bookshelves line the east wall. Alia is seated at a table, writing quickly into a large book. She looks up as you come in.
" Please look around. There is a copy of Das Buch von guter spise on-line. The translation is my own. This is the earliest known German language cookbook; it's from the 1340s from near Wü rzburg. You can look at it. I have also included several redactions from it.She laughs briefly, and turns back to her writing. The desk she mentioned is on the north wall, under a window. It is covered with papers. When you look through the papers (Alia waves reassuringly), you see:I am also working on translating Von Speisen, Natürlichen und Kreuter Wein, aller verstandt . If you are interested in looking at my ongoing translations, feel free to look at them.
Naturally, I've also applied these recipes to feasts within the SCA. If you look here, you can see the various German feasts I have done, from menu with ingredients to the documentation, including redactions for tables of eight."
