[Sca-cooks] Ken Albala's Eating Right in the Renaissance

[Johnna Holloway]

I've owned a copy since Spring 2002 and have been recommending this  
volume and his other
books all along.
Check the Florilegium and I am sure that you'll come across my comments
urging people to buy and read this title.

Also his volume The Banquet is very good.
(And I think that not because he thanks me personally in the  
acknowledgements.)
------
Did it change my mind? Not really. If you look into the publishing  
accounts, you can
determine pretty quickly that if everyone was living a healthy  
lifestyle (be it the 16th or
18th or 19th or 20th or 21st centuries) you wouldn't need all the new  
books or reprints of books
on the subject.
