Hello Jerry,

According to several sites, the below recipe is supposed to be it.

Phaed

Potée bourguignonne (Pork Soup)
Serves 4

1/2 lb. salt pork, chopped fine
2 pig’s knuckles (pork hock, or what-have-you)
6 sausages (good frankfurters, knockwurst, or similar)
2 leeks (white only) thoroughly cleaned and chopped
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 medium cabbage, cleaned and chopped
2 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Bouquet garni (thyme, bay, parsley bound together with string)
Salt and pepper
Water

In a large soup pot render the salt pork out a little over low to medium heat. 
Don't brown! 
Add the onion, leeks, carrot, sausages, and pig’s knuckle and saute for three minutes. 
Add the remaining ingredients except for the turnips and potatoes, cover with 
3 quarts of water, and bring to the simmer. 
Add salt and freshly ground pepper. 
Reduce the heat, cover partially, and allow to simmer for 1 hour 40 minutes. 
Add the potatoes and turnips and simmer for an additional half hour. 
Remove the bouquet garni and the pig’s knuckles, adjust the seasoning, and serve. 
Delay peeling and cutting the potatoes until you’re ready to cook them to prevent 
them from discoloring. 

Hearty dark bread goes well with this soup. Traditionally, this soup
is eaten with mustard (for the sausages) and cornichons.

Gentleman's Relish

Gentleman's Relish Patum Peperium
(A copycat by Ray & Pam Williams. See their other recipes at
 https://www.raywms.com/Cookbook/recipe.htm )

"Patum Peperium was invented in 1828 by an Englishman called John Osborn. 
The original "Gentleman's Relish "made from a blend of anchovies, butter, 
exotic herbs and spices. This classic recipe has remained a secret over 
the years, passed down through generations by word of mouth. Today, this 
delicacy is only made at Elsenham where the original recipe is still in use. 
This is my version of this recipe."

Ingredients:

4 oz Anchovies in Olive Oil (2 cans)
1/4 tsp Dill Weed
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
1/4 tsp Lemon Peel
1/4 tsp Ground Mace
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
4 Tbs Butter
Pinch Cayenne Pepper
Directions:

Process in blender until smooth

Black and Decker Shell Baker

Great news!

I get lots of requests for recipes & the instruction book for the Black & Decker Shell Baker Quick Meal & Dessert Maker. Lots of people seem to buy these things at garage sales and the like, and of course, the instruction manual is always missing.

A kind reader, Janet, has the book and has scanned all of the pages and sent them to me. I have collected them into one adobe PDF file that you can save to your computer and print out as you wish. This is a big file and will take a long tome to open online, so it's probably better to download it to your computer and then open it:
Shellbaker.pdf

She has done the same with the manual for the Oster Quick Freeze Ice Cream maker:
Oster.pdf

These files require that you have the free Adobe Reader installed on your computer.
