SC - Do you think it would be appropriate?

[Christi Redeker]

Hello list!

I had mentioned doing a silk road feast earlier this year.  I am still
planning it but was debating what to do about the China part of the feast.
This weekend while unpacking I started looking through my Time Life Cooking
series and in the Chinese book they have poetry that tells the type of
foods, but not how they were prepared.  

My quandary is this, would it be appropriate to cook simple dishes using the
type of foods prepared and making them with an Eastern flair, even though I
have no actual recipes?

So you all know, I found a reference in the book (I will bring it into work
or send myself the reference here) to a cookbook written in the 13th century
by a cook of a Chinese household.  They didn't have any recipes from it,
just a reference to the book.

Also, does anyone know if Winter Melon is period?  And if so, where can I
find one now?
