OOOHH - I'm going to have to check out that one - "The Pharoah's
Kitchen". Sounds really neat - and I have a nephew who's in grad
school studying to be an Egyptologist.

This year, I got no costume-related presents whatsoever. But I
bought myself Margareta Gleba's "Textile Production in Pre-Roman
Italy" (DBBC had, and may still have, it on sale cheap! Check it
out!) so I'm content.
I *did* get three books on food history! Spirit of the Harvest,
which is a book of reconstructed North American Indian recipes, "The
Pharoah's Kitchen," about food in ancient Egypt and Nubia, and
"Meals and Recipes from Ancient Greece." Quality and accuracy to be
assessed as I read them.
I did not know about "The Queen's Servants" though I enjoyed "The
King's Servants" and will probably add it to my list of books to
get--thanks Kimiko!
