Fancy a leap back in time to the kitchens in the Middle Ages, where cauldrons bubbled over hearths, whole oxen were roasted over spits, and common cooking ingredients included verjuice, barley, peafowl, frumenty, and elder flowers? You, too, can learn the art of gode cookeryor, at least, come close to it.

With gorgeous and whimsical hand-drawn illustrations from beginning to end, A Thyme and Place is both a cookbook and history for foodies and history buffs alike. Cohen and Graves revive old, original medieval recipes, and reimagine and modify them to suit modern palates and tastes. Each recipe is tied directly to a specific calendar holiday and feast, so you can learn to cook:

And many more!
