[Sca-cooks] Question

[Stefan li Rous]

Be aware that although the book may be in Danish, and other northern 
European languages, the food in it appears to be from southern Europe. 
So it may be a Danish cookbook and may or may not have had much use in 
that area, but it doesn't contain Danish dishes.

                                        cookbook in the Western world.
