I don't know how much you were able to figure, and as I said 
before, I don't actually *read* Catalan, and therefore can't 
*translate* it, but here are paraphrases...

Recipe #97 is made of barley flour.  Strain it through a thin napkin 
with thin almond milk, then set it to cook.  When it is cooked and 
thickened, taste it for salt.  If the person for whom it is being 
cooked does not have a fever, you can add white sugar (ordiat is 
generally an invalid dish).  If it's being served to someone who is 
not sick, and you don't want to add sugar, you can add honey if 
you wish.

Recipe #98 is made of pearled barley cooked in a thin almond milk. 
 When the grains have cooked enough that they have burst, press 
them between two chopping boards, and then put them back in the 
almond milk to cook as in the other recipe.  And add sugar as 
previously said.

Recipe 30 from fragment V: the pearled barley is boiled 
(presumably in water), then chopped in a morter.  Then it's thinned 
with with almond milk, strained through a thick napkin, and set to 
cook as said above.  All ordiat should have white sugar put in it.

Hope this is of some help.
