[Sca-cooks] just picked up these books

[Debra Hense]

at Half-Price books -
Cornucopia - The lore of Fruits and Vegetables   1.98

This is what it says about blueberries:  A relative of the European bilberry.  The american blue berry is larger, sweeter and easier to pick.

All the photographs of paintings and such are not properly credited or dated.  But, its a nice little lookthrough with absolutely no notes to back up anything that is stated in the book. It also has a minuscule bibliography of questionable sources (at best).

I also picked up Gillian Riley's  A Feast for the Eyes for 7.98.
Paintings are all well identified and dated.  Modern recipes only, and does not quote sources for recipes.  Bibliography does list some recognized good sources.  This is worth is for the paintings alone.  Recipes do appear to be good - just not period.
