I started on a translation from the Spanish of the first recipe.  Then I 
compared it to the translation in Cariodoc's cookbook collection, and 
found that mine was in no way superior to what was already there.  So I 
really don't see any point in continuing, as it will not add anything to our 
understanding of these recipes.
