[Sca-cooks] Book Questions...

[Huette von Ahrens]

This book is a very poor reference tool.  Some
of the entries are dead wrong and he doesn't
reference any of his facts, if I remember
correctly.

In my opinion, this book is very useful as a
paperweight or a door stopper.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for
