You can also post your own version of a recipe (or remedy) online. Again, just use the comments section on the recipe pages. If you're quick you might even be the first to do so.
If you'd like to try a recipe, just click on one you fancy from the index and see whether anyone has posted a modern version. If not, you can always buy a copy of the1810cookbook via this site and be the first to try it in 200 years! If you buy one of our first editions, you'll be supporting the Black Isle Mozart Requiem weekend workshop in November 2011 (see 'more info').
All website postings will be have to be checked, so please don't be disappointed if your comment or recipe does not appear immediately. We'll add them just as soon as we can.
