Speaking of Le Menagier, there is yet another translation out (Gina Greco
and Christine Rose, 2009). I've lost track of how many there are into
English and their degree of completeness. I tried digging around in the
Florilegium, but didn't see an article similar to the one(s) that compare
Apicius translations. Is there one, or do people here have strong
opinions? All I have at home is an old photocopy of the Powers version.
