I am back from a weekend of cooking a historically inspired feast on the theme of the eighteenth-century Grand Tour, and it was pretty great. www.culina-vetus.de/2026/10/04/a... #earlymodern #foodhistory

Cheese tartlets based on a recipe in Maria Sophia Schellhammer's wohl-unterwiesene Köchin. The tartlets are arranged on rectanglar white serving platters with a garnish of mache, candied pears, and pickled walnuts.

Pumpkin soup based on a recipe in La Varenne's Cuisinier Francois. the photo shows a row of small pottery bowls filled with the soup, each one decorated with a single sage leaf.

Roast beef. The beef slices are arranged on rectangular white serving platters, resting on slices of braised fennel and topped with marrow toast. Each platter also contains one small white cup of sauce royale.

A course entirely based on Latini's Scalco Moderno: The same white serving platters now hold a serving of breaded, fried chicken pieces, pasta boiled in milk with parmeggiano, and a vegetable puree. They are accompanied by Latini's famous 'Spanish sauce' of cooked, reduced tomato.
Yes, that is chicken nuggets with mac'n'cheese and ketchup. It's an inside joke.

There *is* a strict protocol; among other things, I get a pair of PS officers assigned to me (note the campus cop R in the pic). Thorough but simple. This one was pretty easy: seven muskets, two rifles, one fowler, one horse pistol, all muzzle-loading and mostly antique.

"Liber Divinorum Operum" I.4, MS 1942, fol. 38r, early C13th, original by #HildegardofBingen ( #HildegardvonBingen, German, C12th). Held by Biblioteca Statale di Lucca; source, www.hildegard-society.org/p/liber-divi... #nuntastic #womenartists #artherstory #FeastofStHildegard #StHildegard

This illustration, a later copy of a C12th artwork, has a distinct circular or "mandala" shape, superimposed over a narrow vertical gold rectangle with a thicker decorative border with repeating acanthus leaves in blue and white inside of a much narrower reddish-orange straight-line border. The blue and white border is covered over at the left and right edges of the work by the central mandala. Just inside the acanthus-leaf border is a slim green colored border, which terminates at the left middle edge of the drawing in a snake’s head. The inner drawing features concentric circles, within the largest band of which stylized trees punctuate the landscape, while six human figures interact within the divinely ordered natural space, resting or engaging in various acts of farming. An outer band—the outer portion in solid blue, the inner portion with wavy white lines against the same blue-colored background—is decorated at its edges with various kinds of fish. Inside the lower left corner, inserted between the acanthus-leaf border and the mandala, is a small rectangular drawing within an internal rectangular frame of a woman seated in a chair behind a tilted stand, on which sit two tablets side by side.
