The Kuchenmaistrey was the first cookbook to be printed in German and one of the most influential ones. Its 196 recipes open a window into the world of 15th-century upper-class German cuisine, often fascinating, sometimes alarming, and occasionally absolutely delicious. An English translation of and commentary on the 1490 edition is made available to food and history enthusiasts for the first time here.

The bold image of the Landsknechte, with their extravagant clothing and adventurous deeds, has endured to this day. Back then, they were not least regarded as insatiable drunks and fastidious eaters. Officers feared their wrath if food supplies failed to arrive. Their songs tell us of complaints about hunger and cold, but also of dreams of roasted chickens and cool wine.But what did they have on their plates? In a detailed introduction, this book traces the facts behind the legend. What was the life of the Landsknechte like? How were they fed? What foods did they know and how did they prepare them? Based on sources from the 15th and 16th century, the book offers over 50 recipes that were familiar to the Landsknechte and nourished them in good or lean times.Over 50 recipes do justice to both historicity and today's tastes. Each original recipe is accompanied by instructions for the preparation in the modern kitchen.

Das verwegene Image der Landsknechte mit ihren extravaganten Kleidern und abenteuerlichen Taten hat sich bis heute gehalten. Zu ihrer Zeit galten sie nicht zuletzt als unersättliche Säufer und anspruchsvolle Esser. Offiziere fürchteten ihren Zorn, wenn Lebensmittellieferungen ausblieben. Ihre Lieder überliefern uns Klagen über Hunger und Kälte, aber auch Träume von gebratenen Hühnern und kühlem Wein. Was aber hatten sie auf ihren Tellern?Dieses Buch spürt in einer ausführlichen Einführung den Tatsachen hinter der Legende nach. Wie sah die Lebenswelt der Landsknechte aus? Wie wurden sie verpflegt? Welche Lebensmittel kannten sie und wie bereiteten sie diese zu? Auf der Grundlage von Quellen des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts bietet das Buch schließlich über 50 Rezepte, die den Landsknechten vertraut waren und sie in guten oder in mageren Zeiten nährten. Zu jedem Originalrezept gibt es eine Anleitung für die Zubereitung in der modernen Küche.
