Ras, do you happen to have a copy of this article you wrote? Would you
be willing to post it here, or send it to me for use in the Florilegium?
Perhaps with any thoughts that you may have come up with since then on
this recipe? I think such an example might be quite useful for those of
us just getting into redacting our own recipes. It also might prove to
be a warning to those, even those more experienced, about letting
pre-concieved notions of modern cooking override what is in the written
recipe.
