I have it sitting here. She's also the author of Il Liber de ferculis di 
Giambonino da Cremona. And there's another
Liber de Coquina out by Robert Maier in case someone wants all of 
them.Thomas Gloning is recommending the latter
one.

I very much like and appreciate what they did with this cd and it's 
worth buying it even if you already bought the
University of California Press edition of Martino that came out last year.
