SC - OOP - Pumpernickel recipes

[Decker, Terry D.]

Got a catalogue from Yale University Press the other day - it ha a book in
it called *A Feast for the Eyes*, by Gillian Riley.  Two reviews are quoted
in the catalogue, as follows:

     "This handsomely designed offering, with 115 colour plates, a lively,
     witty text tracing the social history of food over some six centuries
     in Italy, Netherlands, Spain, England and France, and a [sic] array of
     recipes drawn from contemporary sources is a visual, mouth-watering
     delight. - David Mitchell, *Lookou*

     "This book seems almost edible; it is stuffed with gorgeous pictures,
     delicious recipes, and tasty stories about food and art.  Gazing on
     paintings from the National Gallery, Riley evokes the past through
     food.  Not all recipes will appeal to modern taste, but the tales and
     115 color illustrations surely will." - *Virginia Quarterly Review*

So - anybody seen this book?  Opinions?  Comments?
