[Sca-cooks] deep frying

[Nancy Kiel]

If you could look up your research or point me in its direction (names of
cookbooks etc) I would greatly appreciate it.  Deep fat frying doesn't seem
to be done in the 18th century, my area of expertise, and I am always
interested in foods and techniques that go in and out of fashion.  Thanks!
