[Sca-cooks] TI Article

[Johnna Holloway]

The article also used the original version of Food in History and not 
the revised edition.
But if the article was written several years ago and not updated with 
more recent sources,
she might have missed it. Actually the new edition/translation that 
Scully did of La Varenne
has several helpful notes on peas and pea recipes, but one has to read 
the footnotes carefully.
