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).
Baroness Clarissa di Firenze
Seneschal, Barony of Bryn Gwlad, Kingdom of Ansteorra
