Period Food is Yummy! Come spend a day experimenting with period cooking and then enjoy the fruits of your labors! This event is modeled after the Cook’s Play Date held at West/An Tir War. Bring recipes, ingredients, and supplies and cook over coals or experiment with dishes in a modern kitchen. Cook one dish or cook four! The day is all about experimenting, learning, and having fun with period cooking. An outdoor cook space with coals will be available as well as space in a modern kitchen. Some pipkins and other pots will be available. Bring what you have to share. For the non-cooks, come out and enjoy a day with friends.
And we didn’t forget about the fighters! While the cooks are cooking, enjoy a Meet and Beat. Classes for both heavy and rapier fighters will be offered throughout the day. Stay tuned for details on classes and fighters that will be attending.
This is a relaxed event to share and enjoy each other’s company. The day will end with samples of the cook’s efforts shared with all. Because - Period Food is Yummy!
