It sounds like you looked in the FOOD-BOOKS section. Another place to
look for reviews when you know the region is to look in the FOOD-BY-REGION
section. But yes, I don't remember seeing comments on some of these before.

Check this file in the FOOD-BY-REGION section. I know there are one or
two reviews in this file:
fd-Poland-msg (7K) 9/ 9/99 Food of period Poland. Referances.

Unless you already have the Platina book(s), you might be interested in
some of the books mentioned in this file:
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (37K) 4/20/00 Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.
cb-rv-Platina-msg (16K) 4/11/00 Reviews of cookbooks having Platina recipes.
I will add any reviews given here to the files for future such inquiries.
