On the whole I thought it was ok. It mostly seemed to be a light
history and "how to" piece. I personally would have been more
interested in something on how peas were cooked and served in period
in different regions.
I also would have liked more reliance on primary sources. I don't
have it in front of me, but I think the closest they had to a primary
source was "A Medieval Home Companion", which consists of translated
excerpts from Menagier.
On the flip side, it did make me want to add a few pea plants to the
collection in my cubicle at work. I have actual sunlight and am
currently growing a dwarf lemon, cayenne pepper, sage, mint,
dianthus, banana, and (in the dark corner) lucky bamboo. Last summer
I managed to grow several jalapenos and three whole servings of green
beans in an office environment.
