[Sca-cooks] Book Question

[Johnna Holloway]

The problem is that the book is very old and was published prior to food 
history
taking off as a field. It covers the entire world in a not very 
comprehensive fashion.
There are numerous other studies out now that are much better-- we also have
numerous companions and guides to food that do a better job.
