Spanish term

UN RECETARIO POR DESCUBRIR

Spanish to English Art/Literary Cooking / Culinary Book title
Hi there, the title of a book about the largely unknown gastronomy of Menorca is
COCINA MENORQUINA AYER Y HOY
UN RECETARIO POR DESCUBRIR

Any ideas about a snappy way to translate the second section. I ventured "Undiscovered Recipes" but the client doesn't like it and wants to know if I can think of something 'better' ;)

Any brainwaves to offer them?
Thanks

How have you translated the first line of the title?
Anna Moorby DipTrans (asker) May 6, 2013:
The client seems not to like the "undiscovered" bit. the query was: No se trata de que sean recetas increíbles sino que son recetas que se tienen que conocer para apreciar su riqueza.....
or perhaps they just don't fully understand the meaning of "undiscovered" :)

Have just thought of "a treasure chest of recipes", but see that it has already been used (:

An alternative for 'yesterday and today' could be 'past and present'.
