Speaking as one who knows a little, and knows it is a little, of both fields, Hess is arguably one of the best, if not the best, authorities on both culinary manuscript geekery and practical cookery knowledge in one person's body. There are a lot of books written and edited by a lot of people who know one or the other really well; few do both as well as she does.
