From Cury to Court: Feasting in Medieval England

By Ron Black

Feast Like a King is your complete guide to recreating a medieval banquet drawn straight from the kitchens of King Richard II. Based on recipes from the 14th-century manuscript The Forme of Cury, this book combines authentic medieval cookery with modern adaptations you can actually make, and serve, in your own home. More than just a cookbook, this is a deep dive into the world of medieval England: its kitchens, courts, customs, and class divides. You'll learn how nobles and peasants dined, how feasts were structured and served, and how to plan your own historically inspired gathering, from costuming and table layout to menu pacing, spice blends, and post-dinner entertainment. Whether you're a reenactor, a home cook, a history lover, or someone just looking for a feast with flair, this book is your roadmap to stepping back in time-and throwing a party fit for royalty. History never tasted so good.
