Forme of Cury with Christopher Monk

Forme of Cury with Christopher Monk In episode two of the second season Neil chats to food historian, chef and scholar Dr Christopher Monk about the first cookbook written in the English language: Forme of Cury. We talked about – amongst other things – who wrote it and use it in the first place, the familiar ingredients and recipes inside the manuscript, blancmange and how to approach cooking ‘authentic’ medieval cuisine.
