by Taillevent

"Le viandier de Taillevent" by Taillevent is a French cookbook written in the 13th century and preserved through various editions. This medieval culinary text survives in multiple manuscripts and 15th-century printed editions. Though traditionally attributed to Guillaume Tirel, nicknamed Taillevent, master cook to the King of France, he likely revised rather than originally composed the work. The book contains instructions for preparing various dishes for the royal kitchen, offering a glimpse into medieval French gastronomy and cooking practices.
