[Sca-cooks] Interesting food article by Charles Perry published in Wednesday's LA Times

Not sure how others on the list feel, but that would be great...I'll be using his translations of Arabic recipes for a feast I hope to be doing next February (talk about planning ahead!!), and will probably have a thousand questions.  Seriously, Phlip's correspondence with Gene Anderson and Paul Buell have added to our conversations, and bringing in Charles Perry would be terrific!  Now if we just had access to Terence Scully.........
