Pasteís de Galinha, Século XV, Portugal (Chicken Pasties, 15th Century, Portugal).

Tomem carneiro, alcatra, ou lombo de porco fresco, e uma fatia de toucinho de fumeiro, para dar gosto. Piquem tudo muito bem. Com cravo, açafrão, pimenta, gengibre, coentro seco, caldo de limão ou de agraço, e uma colher de manteiga faz-se o refogado, ao qual se deitam a carne e o toucinho picados. Cozinha-se em fogo brando. Depois de pronto deixa-se esfriar e fazem-se os pastéis, bem recheados; pincele-os com gema de ovo e leve-os a assar em forno quente. Do mesmo modo se fazem os pastéis de galinha. Os pastéis ficarão mais gostosos, se recheados com carne crua.

Take lamb, rump, or fresh pork loin, and a slice of smoked bacon, for taste. Chop everything very well. With the cloves, saffron, pepper, ginger, dried coriander, lemon or sauce broth, and a spoon of butter, sauté the minced meat and bacon. Cook over low heat. Once ready, let it cool and make the pastries, well filled; brush with egg yolk and bake in a hot oven. In the same way, chicken pasties are made. The pastries will be more delicious, if filled with raw meat.

Recipe: Cheese Ravioli, 16th Century (Receita: Ravioli, Séc. XVI).

Take spinach and blanch it as if you were making cooked spinach, and chop it small. Take approximately one handful, when it is chopped, cheese or meat from a chicken or capon that was boiled or roasted. Then take twice as much cheese as herb, or of chicken an equal amount, and beat two or three eggs into it and make a good dough, put salt and pepper into it and make a dough with good flour, as if you would make a tart, and when you have made little flat cakes of dough then put a small ball of filling on the edge of the flat cake and form it into a dumpling. And press it together well along the edges and place it in broth and let it cook about as long as for a softboiled egg. The meat should be finely chopped and the cheese finely grated.

The Good Housewife's Jewell (1596): To Make a tarte of Strawberries. Wash your strawberries, and put them into your Tarte, and season them with suger, cynamon and Ginger, and put in a littl red wine into them. I used a shortcrust pastry. This tart goes very well with cream! Para fazer uma tarte de morangos. Lave os morangos, coloque-os na sua Tarte, tempere-os com açúcar, canela e gengibre e coloque um pouco de vinho tinto.
