[Sca-cooks] books on graters

[Johnna Holloway]

Lots of items were grated. Dried bread was grated for sauces.
SUGAR came in cones. It was grated. Other spices were grated.
Hard cheese would have been grated.
Medieval/Renaissance Food Clip-Art Collection has numerous Scappi  
woodcuts for various graters.
