Having lived in Atlantia, the East and now Ansteorra, I would have to say 
that Costuming is by far the most likely reason to become a Laurel.  
Ansteorra, to the best of my knowledge, has 1 cooking Laurel, Mistress 
Meadbh.  She is a wonderful cook and very knowledgable of medieval 
cooking and particularly Roman cookery. She is also an excellent teacher. 
There are other Laurels who cook and are very knowledgable (Mistress 
Clare comes to mind immediately) but were not given the Laurel for that 
skill specifically).
