  I was thinking that the recipe would have to be
translated to make sense - i.e. using whatever tense
is appropriate to the lang, regardless of what the
original is, etc.

  I was also thinking of leaving some open spots in
one of the recipes, so that favorite local veggies or
ingredients could be listed. This way, we'd get
several varieties of one soup. Aelya would have
potatoes, but Tatra would have oraka, a taro-like root
found in the swamps, and so on.
