During the pandemic shutdown, we suspended pamphlet availability. Pamphlet availability has resumed. Thank you for your patience as we get back up to speed.
The Madrone Culinary Guild produces a collection of small cookbooks of 30 to 60 pages each, called the Feudal Gourmet series. These are primarily recipe collections from our past Banquets and are based around specific eras and locales. Our pamphlets generally include a brief overview of the cuisine and often include notes on appropriate ingredients and preparation in the time of the cuisine, and modern adaptations. Each recipe includes the original medieval text when possible, followed by our modern reconstruction (with a translation into modern English if necessary).
Click the dropdown menu to read about each cookbook. Our pamphlets are modestly priced to encourage wide distribution. Funds raised by cookbook sales go directly to purchase of kitchen and serving equipment to enable us to produce quality historical banquets.
To order one cookbook, or the whole series:
