Is it true that different foods take longer to digest?
Any evidence that the digestive system has evolved from anrnie to present humans?
je sais cuisinier is much more like fannie farmer's boston cookbook, with its classic american recipes, than the later joy of cooking, which was a cookbook for immigrants
