Pyes de Parez, a medieval pie recipe, is based on 3 substantially similar 15th century English recipes. With a filling of slow-braised beef and pork, studded with sweet fruit, and a free-standing lard crust, it is both succulent and substantial.
In 14th century Europe, spices had the ability to capture the imagination in a way few other luxury items could match.

About Guenièvre
Baronne Guenièvre de Monmarche is a 15th century French woman whose taste in clothing far exceeds her purse and whose table is known for its delights.
The years between 1380 and 1440 are a fascinating transition in women’s clothing. From the tight-fitting styles of the 14th century to the elaborately dagged, voluminous houppelande, the fashion of 15th century clothing changes dramatically over the course of 50 years.
