Anne-Marie -
I, also, like to see the original text as well as a translation if it
is in another language. Since I am very new at redacting period
recipes, I also like to see the author's redaction. Even if I don't
agree with what the author has done it gives me a jumping off point.
I would like to see the footnotes on the same pages as the recipes. I
just got a copy of Markham's "The Good Housewife" and all the notes
and citations are in sections in the back of the book. Looking things
up gets very time consuming.
Just my thoughts. Be sure to let us know when you have a completed
product. As a newbie I am always eager to expand my library.

Hi all from Anne-Marie.
Since it's so quiet, I thought I'd stick my toe in the proverbial pool
and ask a question of us non-Pennsic-goers out there.
I'm in the process of assembling several recipe collections, and would
like some information on what people like to see. Kinda a People's Poll,
if you will.
How do you like to see a reecipe formated? Me, I like the original text,
and lots of specific citations and footnotes to bakc up any claims made
by the author. Then would come the modern recipe, with explainations for
any deviance from the original (ie we couldn't find isinglass, so we used
gelatin).
Any other ideas out there? Do you liek to see the original first and then
the modern vesion? Or the other way around? How important is a glossery
and/or source list? Do you like the reference citatoins in the text, or
as footnotes?
Any ideas are appreciated.

and is now working on a 40-recipe pamphlet on late period English food.
