[Sca-cooks] Re: Soap (recipe source)

[Dana Huffman]

As I recall, there were some soap recipes in the Manual de
mugeres, which translation should be in the Florilegium
(the revised version of my portion forthcoming.  Really.  I
promise).  Most started with soap and then scented it or
fiddled with it to make some other type of stuff, but it
would at least give you some clues/ideas.

I'd be interested to hear about your adventures.  I got to
try some tallow-based soap once and loved it, but haven't
been able to find any since (it's not "cruelty-free,"
apparently).
