[Sca-cooks] Thank you - re: Late Italian feasts

[Johnna Holloway]

Actually Italian Cuisine by Alberto Capatti, Massimo Montanari, and Aine 
O'Healy
is ore up to date if one wants a history of the cuisine.
Westbury these days is for the specialist bibliographer. It's not that 
easy to find anymore.
I'd recommend Cagle before Westbury myself. I own both. I use Cagle more 
often.
And for that matter Gillian Riley's The Oxford Companion to Italian Food 
isn't bad
in terms of what it lists.
