[Sca-cooks] review request

[Johnna Holloway]

I own it but truth be told, I have no idea where the copy is.
It's not very good or memorable. It's available for
as little as 8 cents for a used copy on Amazon.
I thought school kids might like it but I'm not sure they would even  
like it.

One of the reviews on Amazon notes he calls for tomato paste--
"He suggests Babylonian tomato paste? Sliced Egyptian tomatos in a  
salad? (Tomatos are a New World ingredient). Imaginary "lead" cookware  
is an added distraction! (Did you ever try heating a lead pot?)" and  
"(such as tomatoes in a Biblical lentil stew, or potatoes as the only  
suggested side dish for a roast duck recipe in the ancient Egypt  
chapter)."
