If you've never cooked pre-French-culinary recipes (Medieval, rustic Americana, etc.), I'd suggest hitting up YouTube & watching Townsends for a while to get a feel for how to translate old-style recipes to modern style cooking. It can be very frustrating, but rewarding. I'd also point out that most of these old recipes are ... pretty bad. They really don't translate to the modern palate. I make a lot of them with my kiddos, and it's more of a fun thing to do as a family. (They still refer to my ill begotten suet pudding as "The Egg From Alien".)
