Organists in the Kitchen

Organists taming mixtures of a different kind

With a view to publishing a printed cookbook, I approached hundreds of organists, organ builders, organ music composers, and organ lovers from around the world to contribute their favourite dishes; either ones that they make themselves or ones they look for on menus, or coerce others to make for them.  The replies were fascinating and, well, vast. The end result would have run to many hundreds of pages and kilograms in weight. So: totally unworkable. But, mercifully, we have the solution. 
Once every week or so, we'll include a new recipe, a new player, new builder, composer of organ music, or a devoted listening fan of organ music, with a little background story to each. You will find the index to each person and their recipe with their story on this page.
Depending on their tradition, the terms, weights and measures that the contributors use are likely to vary, so please check quantities and weights using the website links noted on this page, which include tips and other helpful stuff for beginners to more experienced chefettes.

(Links to the published dishes and contributors appear in gold or blue once they become active)

The recipes on this website are those which are personal favourites of the contributors; they are supplied in good faith, many of them having been handed down through generations of anonymous family members or other sources. They are reprinted here with minimal editing and although they have been tested through time, they have not all been subjected to official kitchen tests. So use at your own risk! (But they are here, with stories, to entertain...)
And many more . . .
