Yup...have both of those.  Even though I have a copy of Cariadoc's book 
that includes the Andalusian cookbook, I will probably look at his work 
online to see if it's a little clearer than the hard copy...which is a 
copy of a copy of a copy....you get the idea!  It's not a bootleg copy, 
just one that I purchased from him years ago before it became available 
on the Web.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions!
