SC - Fw: [mk-cooks] [Fwd: A book you might be interested in]

[DeeWolff@aol.com]

I understand.  Most of the feast cooks that I know (me included) began (or 
got their interest) in cooking for the SCA masses by simply chopping onions 
or plating dishes in their off time. For this reason, I try (like I said 
earlier) to have "something" for volunteers to do.  I want to encourage their 
efforts, not discourge them.   I almost consider encouraging the efforts of 
others more important than the meal. 

What I would like to know is how does the various cooks on this List "reward" 
their assistant chefs, stewarts and servers.  Or do they?   (for this change 
of topic - please change the SUBJECT LINE to include the word "rewards" or 
something along that line.  Thanks.

 Frankly, as a volunteer thinking about helping in the kitchen, some
 of these opinions on closing the kitchen to outsiders or at least
 the impression it gives, would make me hesitant to volunteer. I'm
 sure I could find another area where my efforts/interest would seem
 to be more appreciated. I think this scares off any but those already
 dedicated to cooking. Those, like myself at times, who are unsure of
 their abilities in the kitchen may well go elsewhere rather than
 brave the atmosphere and likely criticism.
