SC - [arousseau at immunex.com: Re[2]: Cooking Symposium??? ]

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

Hi all from Anne-Marie in Madrone.
FYI here's the latest scoop from our local discussions on a Known World 
Cooking Syposium. Maestro Eduardo was the fellow who orchestrated the A/S 
at 3YC, by the way. Me, I'm the one that brought you the Collegium. 
Countess Elizabeth used to do RUSH in Calontir. So that's our team so far!

Rest assured that we'll keep EVERYONE posted as to future developments. 
Things like this dont happen overnight (it took me almost two full years 
to set up the Collegium at 3YC), so it's good we're starting now!

If anyone knows of great food-related instructors, please feel free to 
have them get in touch with me, or Eduardo for more information (thoase 
classes at Pennsic sound great, hint hint hint)

    Hi all from AM
    
    Here's the state of the Culinary Symposium so far.
    Maestro Eduardo has graciously volunteered to autocrat. I am currently helping
    his scrounge up sites (got packets from fairgrounds last night. Very promising,
    guys!) and helping line up instructors. Countess Elisabeth had volunteered to
    help as well, especially with, as she puts it, the "gack" work.
    
    We are looking at potentially fall of '98. We also have some neat ideas of doing
    this as a "test" run for a "real" non-SCA symposium a la Oxford someday. Which
    leads into a whole nother discussion on a certain Culinary Historians of North
    America thang, but that's another issue.
    
    We are currently thinking of mandatory pre-reg, at least for the hands on
    classes. We are tossing around the idea of doing it through Ithra, though that
    gets a bit complicated, what with paperwork requirments, etc. 
    
    I think we all agree its a really really keen idea. We want to see a mix of
    hands on stuff and lecture classes. Ideally we could have a feast prepared on
    site (maybe by a class on feast prep?), but who would we get to teach it?
    Remember they wouldn't be able to take any classes! :( Hmnmmm.....
    
    Here's a bug in your ears...we're gonna be talking about this LOTS at our next
    guild meeting. So, be there or be squamous cuboidal! 
    
    --AM, who's happy as a clam this ball seems to be rollling.
