Like I said, tomorrow I'm teaching Humors (as well as Women & Medicine, and Food of Eastern Europe) at Chirurgy and Cooking: A Winter Schola (http://www.eastkingdom.org/event-detail.html?eid=1792) in Flemington NJ

I put together a chart of the Humoral qualities listed for things in the manuscripts of the Tacuinum Sanitatis as reproduced in the book The Medieval Health Handbook

For those of you who are used to my usual classes, there will probably be no nibblies to sample as my household is just getting over a nasty bout of digestive flu and I don't want to share the impure airs of our home with you all. If I do bring anything it will be uncooked and/or prepared on site (radishes in dressing, perhaps).

I'm thinking of putting together a list of "easy to make medieval dishes" and I thought I'd start where I started, with Armored Turnips. For those who aren't familiar with them, they are a sort of turnip au gratin, or as some people have put it, turnips as cheese substrate.
Platina book 8
Cut up turnips that have been either boiled or cooked under the ashes.
Likewise do the same with rich cheese, not too ripe. These should be
smaller morsels than the turnips, though. In a pan greased with butter
or liquamen, make a layer of cheese first, then a layer of turnips,
and so on, all the while pouring in spice and some butter, from
time to time. This dish is quickly cooked and should be eaten quickly, too.
