Resources

I've have very gratefully discovered that many of the books required for this undertaking are in the public domain and so I have found them free for download from iBooks. I have begun reading Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick' and though enjoying it, finding it fairly long winded.  I think this book is just a taste of how truly mammoth this task is going to be. 
I have also found a few of the recipes I need on the internet and will attempt to provide links to them at some point. 

I am disappointed this is thus far a rather dull sort of blog.  I will attempt to add some interest as I go, with a few book reviews and musings.  If nothing else this will serve as a record that I have actually completed this project if, indeed, I do complete it.
