Return to Welcome | Cross Reference Index to Recipes There are many different ways I could have organized this receipt book. This was a question I have given a lot of thought to over the years. Would it be more useful to class recipes by type; main dishes or desserts, time period, culture, or source of origin? Each approach had something to recommend it. The great beauty of the Internet is that I can have all approaches at once. Below are several indexes to aid you in finding exactly what you would like to find. |

Dish Type: I've rather arbitrarily broken the
recipes on the site into categories based on modern usage.
Proteins- This category includes dishes featuring meat, fish, or cheese as the major ingredient. Some of them are suitable for main dishes, others make better appetizers and several can be either.
Vegetable and Salads- here the vegetable is front and center.
Grains and Starchy Side Dishes Desserts (Sweet dishes that would serve)
Sauces Jellies and Preserves Basic Preparations

By Culture: Recipes here are classed according to a general
culture or geographic area, thus Tuscan and Venetian recipes are both classed as
Italian. German recipes from 1350 are listed with German recipes from 1550. The
Exception is the Roman Section which just seemed to stand aloof. Andalusian (Arabic) Catalan
English
French German
Italian
Roman and other Classical Recipes

By Century: Here recipes are classed by the earliest written record.

me. If you know of such a reference, please let me know. They are further
