 I think others on this list can tell you, from (bad) experience, that I am 
not a stickler for "documentation" either... I have been making a more 
concerted effort to obtain it, and to use it, though, for the sake of my own 
education and harmony on the list.  However, I do not concentrate on a single 
region or time, either (nor do most on the list, from what I gather).  
Currently, however, I am looking for Norman recipes from the time of the 
first Crusades, but that is just for a feast I am planning.
