[Sca-cooks] Oxford Companion to Food was Alan Davidson

[johnna holloway]

I think it's a great book and people would do well to buy a copy and
read it for the background, expecially given a price of 30 dollars. i
know that there are errors, but every food encyclopedia ever written
contains errors. For that matter, I can't pick up or use a bibliography
in print or online these days without finding errors (and that includes
resources like the English Short Title Catalogue), but am I gonna quit
reading and using them... no!!!

You don't need to wait until the War to see it-- Go to the largest
Borders or Barnes and Noble in your area and check out their
food/cookbook section. Most carry it.
