Das Kochbuch des Meisters Eberhard - English Translation
A 15th century recipe collection and dietetics text from the court of Bayern-Landshut translated by Giano Balestriere.
Meister Eberhard is a text that belongs into a south German context, most likely associated with the court of Bayern-Landshut during its ascendancy in the first half of the 15th century. AFAIK we know nothing about the putative author other than that he most likely was part of the kitchen staff there. The text contains an eclectic mix of recipes and dietetic advice heavily cribbed from a variety of sources, including the (unattributed) writings of St Hildegardis Bingensis.
