A couple of updates
I will sneak the extra recipes people have requested from the family scrapbook in during blogtime next week, since tomorrow is a bit busy. I will be spending most of it in downtown Melbourne - if anything reportable and fascinating and foodie comes out of my adventures, I will blog it. That’s a promise.
I was right about Melbourne and food. Over twenty recipes are already with friends and family for testing. I still have lots left to share, so if you’re feeling neglected please just say.
Morris dancers are brave and noble beings, because (even though they know what I do to morris dancers in my next novel) two morris-dancing friends have take more recipes than anyone.
It isn’t all about testing. A really interesting dynamic is happening. My friends are giving useful comments on my pre-selection of recipes to test. Some recipes don’t need to be tested and others shouldn’t be tested. The brains of many intelligent cooks are at work here, rather than the sole brain of a slightly dotty historian.
And the creator of Cascade Light says that the last negus recipe I have looks pretty standard. He doesn’t want to test it, though - he and his significant other (who went to school with me - we’re still very close) took all the lemon recipes instead. So we have a potentially suitable negus recipe for testing. It will go to the first person who waves their hand madly in my direction.
