Serious Books for Serious Cooks is the Food Heritage Press.  Lots of delicious

titles for medieval cooks, Revolutionary cooks, ethnic cooks of many origins,

and just for cooks in general.  Their catalog is a drool-fest which will lead

you merrily into Temptation.

BTW, I found a cookbooks-only used bookstore in Burbank, CA -- a wonderful

place that I had to be literally dragged out of!

But before that happened I found out that they do mail order and have a web

site.  Here's the info:

Likely you're all familiar with these people at Prospect Books, but

they're a new one for me. I read their commentary on how they came to

be, and they sound like a good source for cooking books, especially the

slightly post period works. They do have an Ordinance of Pottage, and a

few others, though.

   I've been using a borrowed bound photocopy of Spurling's "Elinor

   Fettiplace's Receipt Book"

   for so long that I'm starting to feel bad about it, and want to buy my

   own. I've only ever seen the

   first edition, does anybody here know anything about the second?
