That's interesting! Along those lines, I'm curious--how to people here
pick which recipes they want to try (or try to reconstruct, assuming
they are working with period recipes)?
My, I read through recipes, and when I find one that makes me go "Yum",
I stop and try. I've got a strong "food imagination/memory", conjuring
up what I believe will be the final taste, texture, and smell from the
recipe.
