Welcome
Give it Forth was created in 2015. You can find the original blog at giveitforth.blogspot.com. I thought I would try something new and keep track of what it is I do, experiments, feasts, wannabe feasts, idea's, gardening, herblore and herbcraft, whatever caught my fancy.
Here you will find my personal project, interpreting the receipts found in Two fifteenth-century cookery-books : Harleian MS. 279 (ab 1430), & Harl. MS. 4016 (ab. 1450), with extracts from Ashmole MS. 1439, Laud MS. 553, & Douce MS. 55 by Thomas Austin. This book was the last book my mom gave to me before she passed. She helped me when I was creating feasts in my earliest years of the SCA. We wanted to do this together but at the time neither of us was able to interpret the recipes.
I am pleasantly surprised at how this blog has grown. To those who have subscribed, shared the interpretations, and hopefully tried them, and helped make this a success --Thank you. Here is to the next chapter. Huzzah!
Enjoy!
