Cooking Medieval Food From England's Oldest Cookbook | Clarissa and the King's Cookbook | Chronicle

Medieval foodie Clarissa Dickson Wright tracks down Britain's oldest known cookbook, King Richard II's 700-year-old scroll "The Forme of Cury", and compares its contents with the way we eat today, as well as re-creating some of the dishes for a group of food and medieval history experts. The king's kitchens were highly organized, with up to 300 staff working in various roles, and the cookbook reflects the culinary techniques and terminology of the time. Some of the recipes, such as a luxurious sweet and sour fish dish and pears poached in red wine, highlight the use of exotic spices and ingredients in medieval English cooking.

Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright as The Two Fat Ladies were two of my favourite chefs. Their programs & books are excellent & have fuelled my journey into food history for years. This solo program from Clarissa is one of my favourites & I've cooked a fair few recipes from my copy of The Forme of Cury over time. Sad that neither of these wonderful ladies are with us anymore - they're of a type that's irreplaceable.

I used to cook for the volunteers at our local Renn faire, for years. We had occasional feasts. I used A Forme of Currye and To the King’s Taste. I remember there was a place online where one could acquire Mediaeval spices. I used a lot of herbs. I and my helpers cooked for days. We had Mediaeval musicians and did Mediaeval dances. The food was wonderful. It broke my heart when it all ended.

Clarissa was a Treasure. You have to try her Rice Pudding. You’ll never eat another again. Her food recipes are excellent. I’m such a fan of hers, so sad she’s gone, we are lucky we have videos like this.

I think Clarissa would have gotten along really well with Max Miller of Tasting History.

My mom taught me to always wash dried fruits in warm water 2 or 3 times. You'd be amazed what comes off - bits of straw or sticks, etc.

The way they have Richard watching the angry citizens on a TV is hilarious. This was an excellent production, educational, yet fun.

American here. Some of us have been educated lol. I remember taking my mother to a Medieval Christmas Dinner cooked and served by University students on Michigan State University campus. A few dozen of us privileged (paying participants) sat at trestle tables arranged in a giant U shape and were served wonderful (unrecognizable) foods. I remember that there was a boars head (with apple) paraded around the room on a huge platter. All our servers were dressed and served us appropriate to the age. It was marvelous! I'm so glad I didn't have to clean up afterwards.

I have eaten poached pears... and so similar to that recipe also, with the addition of lemon or orange and raspberries instead of black.
