Welcome to the Perneese Cookbook. Site continuously under construction :) The recipes included here that bear my name I more or less created myself, or 'tweaked' quite a bit from the original. I'd like to keep this cookbook to what is likely to be made on Pern- in other words, I don't think they have pizza as we know it :) If you have a favorite recipe you think would be used on Pern that uses only Perneese ingredients, please mail it to me. However, I'd like something a little more than a direct 'translation from Betty Crocker- it'd help if you actually made the dish before :)
I promise to get this page organized in time.....
