Yes, the recipe for "Angel's Food" can be found in this file in the  
FOOD section:
fresh-cheeses-msg (43K)  3/28/04    Fresh cheeses such as ricotta,  
cream cheese
                                        and cottage cheese. Non-aged  
cheeses.

I believe the recipe, or at least commentary on this can be found in  
several other files. Use the search engine on the top page. This is  
one of the files:
tarts-msg        (102K)  5/21/04    Period small, open-topped,  
shallow pies.

And small tarts might be a quick and easy way to serve this.
