I need to dig through my notes and pull them together far a paper on baking, 
so listing the sources in future shouldn't be a problem.  IIRC, most of them 
have appeared on this list over the years, so they may be in the 
Florilegium.  At the minute, I'm readying two houses for sale and overseeing 
a move to New Mexico, so it may be a few months.  On the otherhand, I've 
been finding research notes that had sunk into the oblivion of the storage 
boxes.

I've been planning to turn my hand to all those lovely Islamic bread recipes 
and I'll post my take on them as I prepare them.
