EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the culinary world of medieval England. The image showcases a page from a cookery book, featuring intricate woodcut illustrations that depict the preparation of pies. In this scene, we witness an array of activities taking place in what appears to be a bustling still room or kitchen. A group of individuals can be seen diligently engaged in various tasks related to pastry making and baking. Some are rolling out dough on wooden tables, while others tend to open fires where pies are being cooked on spits. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as tantalizing aromas waft through the air, promising a delectable meal ahead. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of medieval cooking techniques - distilling flavors, spit roasting meats over open flames, and skillfully crafting pastries. This image transports us back to an era when food was prepared with utmost care and attention to detail. It serves as a reminder of our rich culinary heritage and how far we have come in terms of gastronomic evolution. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but imagine ourselves sitting at that very table centuries ago - eagerly awaiting our turn to savor these sumptuous creations.
