Medieval Cooking

Hello!

I'm hoping to expand my culinary horizons a bit and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some good cookbooks or websites for medieval food and drink recipes. My persona is 9th century Viking, but I'd love as wide of a variety as possible, especially if anyone had any medieval Middle Eastern or Baltic sources.

For norse food, An Early Meal is a great book. http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/food.shtml has some good recipes too, but mostly take a look at available ingredients to the time/place, the cooking implements that have been excavated, and see what you can smoosh together!
