Most of the recipes in The Castle Cook’s notebook are just that…notes (mostly lists of ingredients with limited instruction). Translating the recipes has become a two step process–raw translation from German to English, then research and conversion into a full blown recipe. Below is a list of recipes that have been translated, the ones with links have also been converted. Each weekend, I’ll be converting another recipe and trying it out.
