Pudding snub

Sir: Petronella Wyatt wrote about summer pudding (Summer food and drink, 6 June). To economise on my fellow-contributor's blushes, may I say only that her principal sources quoted were Michelle Berriedale- Johnson and the undersigned, not the ver- sions of their names printed? As joint authors of a book on 17th-century cooking (Pepys at Table, still in print at The Book in Hand, Bell Street, Shaftesbury, Dorset), we like to be cited correctly.
