I've read the article several times, and I think that the biggest problem
(as seen by this list) would have been solved had the article's author not
included the following paragraph:

"Combining a gentle introduction to Wicca, the history of Medieval cooking
and eating, with a solar-calendar-based collection of recipes — ancient and
modern — "The Wicca Cookbook: Recipes, Ritual and Lore" weaves a convincing
case for looking at the wisdom — culinary and spiritual — of that formative
period of human history."

It states that wicca *is* "the history of medieval cooking and eating".  I,
for one, tend to disagree with that statement.  Of course, I'd love to know
more about "Tamales de Martinez (from Wood’s great-grandmother) comes from a
tradition that predates the Middle Ages..." and how this claim can be
documented.
