Food, wine & song: Music and feasting in renaissance Europe (2001)

A grand celebration of medieval music and food, complete with authentic-style recipes this disc features works by French, English, Spanish, Portugese and German composers. (Orlando Consort) "The Orlando Consort's gusto is irresistible." (American Record Guide) - "One to relish, for those who like wassailing and cooking, is the innovative early music singers' CD, "Food, Wine and Song". As well as a score of songs sacred and secular on the subject of eating and drinking, the beautifully produced (with the elder Breughel's Peasant Wedding on the cover) package incorporates a booklet of medieval recipes brought up to date by knowledgeable chefs and cookery writers including Jean Christophe Novelli (bread, almond and saffron pudding with a fig and raisin crust), Sara Paston-Williams (haddock in ale) and Clarissa Dickson-Wright (leeks and beetroot in raisin sauce). Jamie's slap, bang, wallop, and a guitar solo, it ain't. Food, Wine and Song is jolly and good..." (The Independent)
