This project will be a long term effort. At this point only some links
are active, though I have made an effort to list at least 2 recipes
in each of the major categories. More translations will be added as
time permits, and I am continuing to work on transcribing/translitterating
the German . Please give me feedback on what I have completed so
far, and what more you would like to see.
Giano Balestriere
from Drachenwald has also been working on re-creating recipes from Rumpolt
and other German sources. I am webbing his efforts, with permission,
to provide a central source for the German material. Giano's recipes
are currently indexed from the content page. Find
Ginao's information here
