I would be interested in this. I would prefer to have both the original
and the translation in one place, if possible. Even better would be to
make this an ongoing project. As you improve your translation skills or
learn new things that impact your translations, send me the updates and
I will update the web version. Another improvement would be to add yours
(or others) redactions of the recipes.
