Llibre de Sent Soví

Rate this book
El Llibre de Sent Soví és el receptari més antic conservat en llengua catalana. Se situa, doncs, just a l’inici de la tradició culinària del país, i ja hi apunten determinades constants que han arribat fins avui. La seva influència s’observa en la resta de llibres de cuina medievals i fins i tot posteriors. Aquesta condició de llibre inaugural, en part atzarosa, no es contradiu amb el fet que sigui, al mateix temps, una síntesi de la cuina de la seva època. Específicament de l’alta cuina, pròpia de la noblesa i les classes benestants. Per facilitar l’accés al text, se n’ofereix la versió medieval acarada a una adaptació al català modern. Amb aquest volum s’inicia la col•lecció Set Portes de Receptaris Històrics de Cuina Catalana, que proposarà un llarg recorregut des dels receptaris més antics fins als de la segona meitat del segle XX, amb la finalitat de posar de manifest l’evolució, les transformacions i les continuïtats de la cuina catalana.

While I don't have a specific interest in Iberian cookery, I do tend to collect editions of medieval cookbooks just out of habit. This one, I think I'm going to explore a bit (after I finish my current detailed exploration of Two Fifteenth Century Cookbooks). It has a nice balance of meat, vegetable, and grain dishes and while the taste combinations follow familiar medieval templates, there is both a simplicity yet variety among the recipes that promises some fun explorations. While browsing through the section of "sauces" (salsa in the original) it struck me that the category isn't so much "a flavored topping for another dish" but something that ranges a bit further into "side dish" territory. There's a recipe for an eggplant casserole that looks absolutely scrumptious. So many cookbooks; so little time.

Since writing the above, I've had a chance to explore the recipes a bit more. I participate in historic re-creation activities and the following link describes some of my historic cooking experiments based on this text: http://hrj.livejournal.com/tag/sent%2...
