  Actually, as Shreyas pointed out, they do. My search
in the archive found LOTS of references to the
cookbook, and people's ideas to put in, and so on -
just no actual recipes! Vocabulary seemed to be a
major problem point.

   To be honest, while the languages would be
exceedingly wonderful, I'd be willing to incorporate
recipes without the conlangs, if there was a good
amount of social and cultural info on the dish (or
"memories" of when "my egg-layer used to make this for
me from the freshest asdkjlf available - excellent!")
I wouldn't even mind simple culinary descriptions of
various cultures, no recipes, no conlangs. Really, a
good cookbook has a little bit of all of this.

   On an semi-unrelated note, I have this idea that we
could call the cookbook "The Secret Vice of Cooking".
;)

haha!! Great suggestion :) I'll be happy to contribute, If I can just find out some
more names for ingrediants...I don't think I even have a word for fruit yet in
Silindion!! :(
