It is an incredible artefact, especially for hearing about Dhuoda's life and thoughts from her own pen. justhistoryposts.com/2025/02/24/h...

Have just started reading this but my progress is hindered by stopping to Google what various Japanese dishes & ingredients are - never having eaten Japanese food it's sounding rather delicious! I might have to find a restaurant and give it a go!
