Mushrooms: Take mushrooms and wash them clean and dice them. Take leeks and shred them small and do them to 
boil in good broth. Color it with saffron and do therein strong powder.

  • 2 cups Gode Broth  (here is my Gode Broth recipe)

  • 12 oz mushooms, diced (about 3 cups)

  • 1 leek, washed and diced (mostly the white part, but a little of the green) (or you can use a large onion)

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 1/4 tsp cloves

  • 3 threads saffron

1)In a pot, simmer the mushroom, leeks, and broth.
2)While cooking, add the spices.
3)Cook until tender.
4)Serve hot (with or without the broth).

Flaumpeyns

Forme of Cury 193 Flumpeyns: Take fat Pork ysode. pyke it clene. grynde it smale. grynde Chese & do Þerto
wiÞ sugur and gode powdours. make a coffin of an ynche depe and do Þis fars Þerin. make a thynne foil of
gode past & kerue out Þeroff smale poynte. frye hem & put hem in fars & bake it up & c..

Take fat pork boiled. Pick it clean. Grind it small. Grind cheese and do thereto with sugar and good powders.
Make a pastry shell that is an inch deep and to this filling therein. Make a thin sheet of good pastry and carve out
small points. fry them and put them in filling and bake it up and serve.

  • 4 lbs fatty pork roast, boiled and cut small
  • 2 cups white cheese (I used 1 1/2 cups shredded mozerella & 1/2 cup cream cheese)
  • sugar (no more than 1/3 cup)
  • 2 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 5 nine-inch pie shells (one to cut the points out of)
  • 2 Tbs oil for frying

(if you use a leaner cut of pork, save some of the broth to moisten the filling with)
*Pre-bake the pie shells
*Grind the pork and mix with the cheese, sugar, and spices. (add some broth if the filling is not moist)
*Cut one of the shells into little triangles, and fry them.
*Put filling into pie shells, decorate the tops with the little dough triangles, and bake for approximately 20 minutes
in a 375 degree oven. Filling should set (cheese melts), and the pastry should be lightly browned.
*Serve warm.

I didn't do the little points, as I pre-baked the pies & re-heated them. The points would have probably have burnt,
ruining the effect. I therefore decided to sacrifice them for the sake of my sanity... ;)

Lesshes fryed in Lentoun

Forme of Cury 166 Lesshes fryed in Lentoun: Drawe a thick almaunde mylke wiÞ water. take dates and pyke
hem clene with apples and peeres & mynce hem wit purnes damysyns. take out Þe stones out of Þe  purnes

Milk Pie in Lent: Draw a thick almond milk with water. Take dates and pick them clean with apples and pears &
mince them with plum prunes. Take out the stones out of the prunes and carve the prunes in two. Do thereto raisins
and sugar, ground cinnamon, mace, cloves, good powder and salt. Color them up with sandlewood. Mix this with
oil, make pastry shells as you did before and put the filling therein. Bake it well and serve it forth.

  • 2 cups extra thick Almond Milk   (here is my Almond Milk recipe)

  • 1/2 cup chopped dates

  • 1 cup diced apples

  • 1 cup diced pears

  • 1/2 cup chopped prunes

  • 1/2 cup raisins

  • sugar to taste (no more than 1/3 cup)

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp mace

  • 1/2 tsp cloves

  • 1/2 tsp ginger

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 2-5 drops red food coloring

  • 1 Tbs olive oil

  • 2-4 nine-inch pie shells

*Mix in a large bowl the dates, apples, pears, prunes, and raisins.
*In a different bowl, mix the almond milk, sugar, spices, food coloring, and oil.
*Add liquid to fruit and mix well.
*Pour the filling into the shells and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes.
*Allow to completely cool before serving. You can serve as slices of pie or by scooping the filling out of the "coffin".

(If you're not really careful, sandlewood can make things very bitter. I didn't want to chance ruining the mixture, so
I used red food coloring as suggested by the Boke of Gode Cookery.)
