Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
Be quick. My father will arrive here soon. If this is the last time he sets foot on board, I'd like him to see the Vivacia ship-shape and the crew busy.
Apicius: A Critical Edition translated by Christopher Grocock and Sally Grainger
He gives a "fish pickle" recipe thich is so far from the true nature of liquamen as to be within the realms of fantasy.
