I got a copy of the _Libre de Sent Sovi_, which is a 14th century
Catalan cookbook.  No, I'm not crazy enough to try translating it, but I
would like to be able to read the recipes and use it as a resource to
help me with the later Spanish works.  I can make out a fair number of
words -- knowing both French and Spanish helps a lot.  Can anyone tell
me if a *modern* Catalan dictionary would be useful enough to be worth
buying?  Unfortunately, there is no Catalan-English dictionary on the
Web.

Some of these recipes are in The Original Mediterranean Cuisine I have
mentioned before.  She does translations so if it is if any help it may give
you an idea of the terms and forms used in translating.
