Roman Centurions 31 BC-AD 500: The Classical and Late Empire.

In the years between 31 BC and AD 500 the Romans carved out a mighty empire stretching from Britain to the deserts of North Africa. The men who spearheaded this expansion were the centurions, the tough, professional warriors who led from the front, exerted savage discipline and provided a role model for the legionaries under their command.

Kastelenkookboek. Waarachtige recepten uit de keukens Van Nederlandse kastelen en buitenplaatsen.

Waarachtige recepten uit de keukens van Nederlandse kastelen en buitenplaatsen, Luidruchtige braspartijen, veel drank en ranzige potkost, dat is het beeld wat je al snel voor ogen hebt als je aan het culinaire verleden van onze voorouders denkt. Maar klopt dat beeld wel? Op feestdagen kwamen uitbundige eetfeesten natuurlijk wel voor, maar wat at men op doordeweekse dagen of in tijden van schaarste en langdurig vasten? Kasteelbewoners waren niet voor niets zuinig en aten gezond en smakelijk.

Patterns of Fashion 2: Englishwomen's Dresses & Their Construction C. 1860-1940.

All of the patterns in this book were taken from existing garments, so they are very historically accurate. Details on fabric, trim, and construction are included--as well as what type of corset was worn with each (very important!). I used one of the patterns to make a 1870's dress and it turned out wonderful--I made mock-ups of the bodice first to ensure fit, and had to make a number of alterations. The grid scale is easy to use. Seam allowances and alternate sizing is not included, so if your figure is extremely dissimilar to the original wearer of the gown, you might have trouble.

Patterns of Fashion 4: The Cut and Construction of Linen Shirts, Smocks, Neckwear, Headwear and Accessories for Men and Women C. 1540-1660.

No one interested in the history of dress, from art historians to stage designers, from museum curators to teachers of fashion and costume, can function effectively without Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion series. Since her untimely death in 1998, admirers of her work have been waiting, with increasing impatience, for the promised volume devoted to the linen clothes of the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods, a companion to her previous volume on tailored clothes of the same era.

Op de wijze van de chef.

In een tijd waarin de boekenwinkels uitpuilen van kookboeken in alle vormen en gewichten en waarin de media een zeer groot stuk van hun zendtijd inruilen voor kookrubrieken, ontbreekt vaak de achtergrond van onze culinaire cultuur. Ondanks het feit dat die boeiend en verhelderend is voor de bewuste (hobby)kok en zijn tafelgenoten.

Bovendien kruidt een verhaal de spijzen.
