SC - Chambord

[Huette von Ahrens]

I didn't get a chance to see the show, but it is such a coincident.  I just a 
new (to me) cookbook yesterday - Biblical Garden Cookery by Eileen Gaden  It 
has recipes and history lessons in it.  But how accurate for this List, the 
recipes I are, I have my doubts for in the preface, second paragraph the 
author writes:  "For these peoples and from careful reading of rich 
scriptural sources, we have a good understanding about food and it's 
preparation in biblical times.  Although no recipes as such have come down to 
us, we do kow which foods were in use"

 Yup, saw bits and pieces of it....what I saw looked really good.  I'm going

 watch and see if they show it again so I can tape it.
