- Recipes.tar.Z contains a Digital Librarianized version of the
- massive collection of recipes that can be found on many archives,
- including gatekeeper.dec.com. The semi-mystical recipe
- formatter (found in Recipes/.index/rcshow) is entirely the work of
- Brian Reid. If you want these recipes to display metric measurements
- instead, you can edit the rcshow script. The curious may also want to
- peek inside the .index directory; Digital Librarian is a cool thing,
- but it would be much cooler if the documented some of its features.
-
- These recipes come from a newsgroup called alt.gourmand, in which a
- moderator apparently translated recipes into the troff-ish format
- that you see in this archive. The moderator of rec.food.recipes,
- Andrew Mossberg (aem@mthvax.cs.miami.edu) has no idea where the
- group went, and neither do I. As far as I can tell, though, this clever
- style of formatting recipes is no longer used; if you know the story
- behind it, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop me (and Andrew) a line.
-
- Anyhow, I did all this mainly so I could find a particular chocolate-
- chip cookie recipe; now that I have, I'm gonna start baking. If you
- have suggestions or comments, feel free to send mail to me at the
- address below. And enjoy!
