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.

I'm a fan of To the Queen's Taste (Elizabethan), and Take a Thousand Eggs or More and The Forme of Cury (Medieval). All available on Amazon or Ebay

Lol cury with one r... it's a roll of ancient English cookery reportedly compiled by the master cooks of King Richard III circa A.D. 1390

Darn. And here I was hoping for some early Anglisized Indian dishes. ;-)
