Giacosa is also good about explaining WHY she made certain changes in
her redactions or translations as well as fitting foods and recipes into
the overall format of the meal.  And the context of the food with the
regions they came from.  Even suggestions as to what can be served with
what.  Flowers/Rosenbaum will probably be long considered the benchmark
translation.
