<short quotes>
Madeleine P. Cosman, 68, Medieval Expert, Dies
...The author of nearly a dozen books, Ms. Cosman was best known to popular 
audiences for "Fabulous Feasts: Medieval Cookery and Ceremony" (George 
Braziller, 1976). An illustrated study of culinary practice in the Middle 
Ages, it also included recipes for dishes like roseye (fried fish in a 
rose-petal sauce), mulled wine and peppermint rice.
...Ms. Cosman also leaves behind a vast library of illuminated manuscripts and 
a large collection of handguns.
