[Sca-cooks] OOP layout and printing question

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

What a wonderful thing to have handed to you...and what a labor of love you
have ahead of you.  I know your relatives will be delighted...I almost wish
i were one of them!

I suspect that the end product would be more useful if you were to put like
recipes together...maybe even organize it the way a cookbook is, with
sections for things like appetizers, bread, cakes, cookies, etc.  Then you
can annotate with each specifically where each came from (book#, page#,
etc.).

Good luck!!

This was along the lines of what I was thinking.  Perhaps you could make one
section for the facsimilies, and put them in the original book(s) order.
You could make a simple numbering system to help with tracking things down
in the future.  Then, go about your transcriptions. I also like the
suggestion of "suggested instructions" with the caveat.  Group your new work
(for it is such at that point) according to the recipes, with the main one
and then variants listed after.  Note on each recipe the corrosponding
number from the facsimiles so they can go back and look at something if they
have a question.
Sounds like a great project, hope to have it finished by Christmas, do you?
Get cracking!
