[Sca-cooks] Anna Wecker and sauteed potatoes

[Terry Decker]

If I got the count right, Aresty listed 173 of the cookbooks in her 
collection in The Delectable Past, starting with a Latin manuscript of 
Apicius from 1420 to an American cookbook from 1901.  She failed to list the 
German, Japanese and children's cookbooks.  It is a rather impressive 
selection and it was 32 more years before she donated it to the University 
of Pennsylvania.
