[Sca-cooks] musings on nightshade

[Johnna Holloway]

I am sorry but Bareham and Robyns are the sources for the cookery section.
The history section in the OUP hardcover lists Wilson and Salaman.
This would be--
C. Anne Wilson's Food and Drink in Britain 1973
and this classic work
 The History and Social Influence of the Potato by Redcliffe N. Salaman.
The second edition is edited by J. G. Hawkes
and is still available in paperback from Cambridge University Press.

Once you've acquired Salaman, another that  fits in nicely is The Story 
of the Potato
through Illustrated Varieties by Alan Wilson. It's a UK work on heirloom
varieties of the last 250 years and the history of the potato.Bear later 
mentioned

He's of course the editor of the earlier Salaman book.
Hope this helps
