actually, its not so hard. Just as I've styled myself Maitresse rather than
the usual Mistress, I have styled myself cuisinier rather than feastocrate.
Everyone who knows me knows that I prefer the term Maitresse, but there's
occasional slips (by folks who dont know better), and I just shrug them
off. Funny, OTHER people will often correct their friends!

Use it yourself and you'll find that others will begin to use it in
reference to you. We use the term that sits in the front of our brain, and
that's usually the one you heard last, or in my case, the one coupled with
my name (I'm not just Anne-Marie, I'm Maitresse Anne-Marie to some, ie they
have just made my name longer)

For the possible confusion of the term cuisinier, I usually explain when
asked "it means head cook in medieval French". That way the term
"feastcrate/Feastocrate" doesnt even enter their shelllike ears, and so it
never even comes up.

Metacognition is a wonderful thing! :)
