[Sca-cooks] sauce competition

[ysabeau]

Maybe this has been done before, but you could provide maybe 
(random number) three sauce recipes...As it was said, a lot is 
left up to the individual interpretation so you could easily end 
up with a variety of different flavors from one period recipe. If 
they are fairly new cooks, this would give them some guidelines, 
yet allow it to be period.

Just a thought,
