"It's wonderful because the whole of Europe was interested in writing down and recording what they were eating." -- Anne Willan on old cookbooks, A Taste of the Past

"The oldest recipes were the most difficult to recreate because hard to know just what ingredients tasted like and what people were getting, so it was kind of a bit of a guess. What I wanted to do was to present something that's feasible in a modern kitchen." --Anne Willan on A Taste of the Past
