from Santich for now, can I have the recipe for the marchpane? our meat and
potatoes baron says he's going to come to a culinary guild meeting next
week if I promise him marzipan!! :)

I do indeed have the Andalusian stuff (we did a yummy little banquettette
from it a few years ago, but would like to start from scratch and do all
new stuff this time!).

But I'm hping to get my hands on translations of _Sent Sovi_ and _Libre del
Coch_ and that ilk? any ideas? I also read that there's a book of Carving
for that time and place too!!!

PS...did you know that if you go to type the recipes from an Andalusian
banquet, your spell checker will try to make it into an "adulation"
banquet? :)
