This work was originally published in 1615. It includes compound salads and pies that carry various colors that can be used to create an heraldic device. Once upon a Crown Tourney for the East Kingdom, I used this source to make a purple cookie (plum jam instead of plum turned "that carries the color black" to purple) to set on a rosewater flavored egg yolk center surrounded by an egg white circle. It has a 15 page glossary and lots of footnotes. There are no adapted recipes.

He used alot of sources that were not orginally his and he actually admits he does a good job of taking information and condensing it and putting it all together, after reading the intro I wonder how much of the work is really his. However the section on how to heal things like, burns is hilarious and I wonder how the poor victims of this cure turned out. ( )
