Recipes in the book edit

The article states that the book doesn't contain recipes, citing an article in the Independent. That newspaper article does say that. However, throughout the book are presented historical recipes. They're not recipes that he wrote, but they're recipes nonetheless. 67.183.140.240 (talk) 05:53, 16 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think by one definition of recipe, The Independent may be right. The book describes, rather roughly, processes of how to make certain dishes, but never applies the language of "2½ cups of this, 1 tespoon of that.." Could you suggest a better way to phrase it?

How about "Does not contain recipes in the traditional sense"? - Redmess (talk) 19:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
