this is a wonderful culinary history book.  i bought it a few weeks ago
from amazon for a lot more than $24.50.  but be careful.  the author says
right up front, this is a book of mediterranean culinary history with
- -modern- recipes.  all of the recipes are modern, mediterranean fare.
buy it for the illustrations and the commentary, but don't try to make out
that the recipes are period.
