A few of them, yes - I think I´ve maybe posted 6-7 recipes in all. I´ve been
meaning to do the rest (around 25 recipes) for a long time but haven´t found
time for it - and since the deadline for a book I´m working on was recently
moved forward a few months, I´m not sure if I will be able to finish the
translations until maybe in a couple of months. I also want to translate
more recipes from the 1616 Danish cookbook.

However, here is a complete list of the recipes - some of them are in all
three manuscripts, some only in one. If any recipe sounds particularily
interesting, I could translate at least one version. Titles (and comments)
in parantheses are mine, since the recipes that are only found in the
younger Danish manuscript do not have any titles.
