[Sca-cooks] new book review-- _Feast_

[Johnna Holloway]

The major and only problem with it is that it must be read and then the 
notes should
be read. If one has some idea about doing a banquet or feast from a certain
age, one can gain a lot of interesting material and ideas from the 
descriptions
and notes. But it isn't laid out for you saying use these tables and 
serve this
sort of food, so a number of people will simply pass it by. What it does 
cover,
it covers very well.
