The oatmeal soup recipe has been webbed for a couple of years, though it
doesn't have the original source cited. You can find it at :
http://www.geocities.com/tanway92/recipe.html

The almond cracker was actually a torte, "Torte of Melone" from what Magnus
keeps calling The French Cookbook (a period source he has). That's probably
not the exact title, but it gives you somewhere to start. I made the tortes
for that particular feast. It was the almond based crust, topped with a
filling of fresh melons (crushed), a little sugar, and .. I forget the
rest, sorry.
