SC - it's too quiet!

[Stephanie Rudin]

     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.
