[Sca-cooks] Seven Centuries was Magical feast:::was::: Ahhh...

[johnna holloway]

Ok here's the brief version--- It's an old book; it actually
came out 30 years ago which is way before people began demanding
more and better adaptations in historical cookbooks.
This is the work that has the medieval tri color soup that
suggests using cream of potato soup. That doesn't mean I don't
own it. It does mean I would use it rather cautiously.
