Oh, not necessarily write it up, but have it available if someone asks.  "My
lady, this pie is wonderful; what is it?"  "Oh, that's a mushroom pasty from
Le Menagier, a French manuscript from 1390".  Now admittedly, there's no way
to know from that simple statement whether I followed the recipe accurately,
but at least they would know where to go look it up.
