Recipes and Redactions
In the world of medieval cooking, a recipe is in its original form or has
been directly translated. It may be vague and without measurements. A
redaction is a modern style version of the recipe with measurements,
ingredients, and notes. The redaction is someone's educated guess at the
intent of the original recipe.
