I really liked gourmetmushrooms.co.uk/ but the whole Brexit thing and me being in another country has sort of messed that up. I'm trying to find an EU supplier of interesting mushroom substrates that will cater for a home grower/beginner/interested occasional dabbler?

Mad musings about mushrooms in some medieval Italian recipes (Scappi) by me, not expert in any of those fields, just interested. pontagedue.wordpress.com/202…

An interesting piece here about dining rooms. I don't quite agree with all of its conclusions, but I'll expand on that in a future issue. It's worth noting that there's an estate here in Maynooth where most of the houses still have a dining room. vox.com/the-goods/22350932/d…

Tesco had cucumbers very briefly this week, and is now out of them again. Avocados are likewise unavailable. Lidl has both. I'm still not sure how that works.

Also, I attended an online talk by @Irish_Cookbooks last night, in conjunction with @NLIreland, which has me thoroughly fired up for looking at more manuscript recipe books when that's possible again. :)

The latest issue, which talks about the experience of following Medieval Lenten food rules, and also manages to quote @Nigella_Lawson (who is very much not Lenten) is out now. commonplacebook.substack.com…

I've studied (or at least read about) manuscripts and books from just about every period of history, and this is a form of cookbook annotation I have never seen before: x.com/claudykin/status/13566…

So my mum bought my dad a @jamieoliver cook book for Christmas in 2004, and I’ve just discovered she’s been writing in it ever since 🤣🤣🤣

New book recommended by @_sorcha for current research has arrived. It looks fantastic. I may have to pry it from @sabayone's hands...

Just listened to an excellent talk given by @rare_cooking about what she's doing in Cooking in the Archives. The ability to "attend" an event on the East Coast of the US from my own kitchen is wonderful.
