I just checked the file I have for messages waiting to go into the Harpestraeng
file:
Harpstrang-cb-msg (34K) 10/19/99    The Harpestraeng cookbook. The
oldest 
                                       cookbook in the Western world.

But that file did not contain any recipes. However those are the kinds of
messages I like to save. It is possible that I have saved these recipes
posted by Nanna into files meant for specific food files such as fish-msg,
puddings-msg etc. While I might also try to put such recipes in both
files, I think I may have been trying to give just a few recipes in this
file to give an idea of the recipes in this cookbook collection, yet not
get the comments about the cookbook(s) themselves buried in a bunch of
recipes since this file was meant to be mainly about the cookbook and not
a file of recipes.

I am certainly willing to listen to suggestions on how better to organise
things.
