But I almost never try out recipies special before a feast. I just pick
out some good, tested home cooking recipies and figure out an order of
service. Ok, it's good old home cooking as presented in those nice
brown hardbound books from Oxford University Press[1], mostly.

Nahh, obviously ayone who can boil an egg without burning it can cook at
3-star restaurant levels. Just like anyone who can change oil and
spark plugs on a car could get a jo as mechanic in an Indy 500 team.

cookery books are written in Middle English, the premier language of
food and cooking.
