The Computer Cookbook

[R-Tape]

Sounds quite nice to me! Not sure about making 40 pints of it though.

I fancied looking at the code too, then noticed the anti-hack. I could have a look at the code later, but does anyone know the usual ways around the popular BREAK protect sofware?

I gave it a try and the beggining is not what I expected...


I tried an onion soup (*bleeeurgh!*) for 99, using imperial units (to get the best results! )



I think I'm going to puke...

This is ace as I actually love onion soup. It's my favourite of all the soups. Could I consume a batch for 99? not sure, but I'd be willing to give it a try.

POKE ‭65326‬, 233.

There are some amusing error messages in the program if you LIST 8510.

COSMIC COLANDERS!

Should have been Ian Hoare's second game.

I saw an advert for Amazon Alexa where it was reading out recipes, and I thought to myself we had something similar in the 1980s!

Nice thread by the way [mention]R-Tape[/mention]. I love those threads that run and run!

But Alexa doesn't suggest as good wines to accompany as Mr. Hoare does!

[Morkin]

So is anyone going to have a crack at one of the recipes along with the recommended wine?

I would, but, considering the only veggie recipe is stuffed peppers and I despise peppers, I’ll just pretend to make all the recipes, but give a review on all the recommended wines.

Good point [mention]Juan F. Ramirez[/mention] !

[Juan F. Ramirez]

As it seems the program will be hacked, we might include beers and hamburgers!

... and we could made a MOD: "The Spectrum Cookbook: the Vegan Edition"

Ok, ok, I'm leaving...

You've reminded me - I did a cgc game in 2016 that had a help assistant listing recipes: Vegetarian is Fun!

CGC 2016 is still not collated though, so there's no file or screenshots yet. That's a job for next year

It looks like we have another cookbook!

Moja Gospodinjska Pomocnica (My housekeep in Slovenian).

The book comes with a tape of recipes apparently. Shame it's mia, a I don't have many 1980's Slovenian receipes in my repertoire.

And it's got the best cover ever! Looks like a MM/JSW inlay.

Please stop posting links to old computer magazines!!! I've just spent 45 minutes, yes 45 minutes trawling through them

Don't worry.
Just doesn't make sense.
You are doomed already.
You were doomed since you created your account here.
You were doomed since you surfed to this URL.
You were doomed since the thought crossed your mind that the Spectrum could be more than recycling bin fuel.
DOOOOOMD!!!!!

'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

Oh! And just to be on topic again

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
PRINT "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen eighty nine"

Looks like it's here:

[mention]R-Tape[/mention] Could we add it to the database?

EDIT: And it's here:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=9235
So a book somehow needs to be linked to the tape. And maybe the entry adjusted. I don't know if it's possible in ZXDB.

Thanks Ralf. I've no idea how to do that. I'll see if the others do when I send my stuff for the next update.

It could be my poor Slovenian, but it looks like the snapshot is missing the actual recipes. Perhaps they get loaded from another tape?
