This book is close to pointless, & its translation is puzzling in places. There are generic remarks about Italian medieval & Renaissance cookbooks & aristocratic food culture, a few pages about Da Vinci, whose links with food & banquets are actually tenuous, & some recipes in the original Italian, with unclear French translations.

BookishMarginalia That‘s disappointing 2d
Dilara @BookishMarginalia It is! But thankfully, it was a library book. It is now back on its shelf, awaiting the next disappointed patron 😉 2d
Texreader And it would have been so perfect! What a shame!! 2d
Dilara @Texreader It *is* a shame... but I borrowed another cookbook from the library which looks more promising 😠1d
