Music reviews of Food, Wine, & Song - Music and Feasting in Renaissance Europe
Music Review: Heavenly music - amazing authentic Renaissance recipes!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an absolutely superb CD in every respect. The excellent selection of songs encompasses some of the finest composers of the Late Middle Ages-Renaissance including earlier masters such as Machaut, Binchois, Dufay as well as some exceptional composers of the Prima Prattica such as Isaac and his pupil Senfl. Compositions from France, England, Spain/Portugal, Germany, Italy and Burgandy are all represented too. The Isaac chanson 'Donna di dentro' may well be my favorite of this whole CD.
Equally exciting is the fantastic recipe book that comes with the lavish booklet. I have many a cook book and I can tell you this is as good as any of them and an absolute must if you are a Renaissance music enthusiast. Just as many a great score has laid in museums gathering dust for centuries, so too have many cook books been forgotten and their recipes lost to time. The efforts of many reknown contemporary chefs have been employed to resurrect some of these gems. The food tastes like nothing I have ever tried before - like listening to Renaissance music for the first time. If feels like you have stuck your spoon and knife (forks were a later invention and no self-respecting HIP music lover would eat this food with one!) into a Renaissance still life picture of a lavish meal and started eating.
One suggestion: definitely try the 'orange omelette for pimps and harlots'. Only thing routinely use one whole orange (peeled and put through a blender) AND a couple of tablespoons of a light non-bitter orange marmalade. Skip the extra added sugar and instead add some Cointreau to the mixture. Then serve hot with ice cream as a desert (desert omelettes are a sadly lost art), unless you feel that you HAVE to keep these strictly HIP because they didn't have ice cream in those days - make sure your favourite song from this CD is playing. You will think you have died and gone to heaven.
Hearing the spirit of the Renaissance is one thing but to also see it, taste it, smell it - now that's something else!!! I strongly suggest buying now as these sort of releases then to dissappear and if it does reappear the wonderful CD booklet with its recipes will likely be missing.
