SC - Cooking Laurels

[Bonne of Traquair]

>I am an apprentice.

I've wondered about this for a long time.  Is apprentiship a requirement for 
eventually getting a laurel?  Or just a tradition that you can get around by 
doing everything that much more loudly, obviuosly and longer in order to get 
the laurels who are busy singing and lace-making and etc. to notice? What if 
you don't know a cooking laurel you feel close enough, as in location as 
well as in compatability, to make such a commitment to?

The reason I joined to this list was because I didn't find anyone at the 
local level that thought the research and testing of old recipes was a fun 
way to play with food. I've met some since then but they are at the same 
level I am.  I've since learned there is a cooking laurel in this kingdom, 
but I've never met her face to face and wouldn't be able to work with her in 
person even if we weren't moving away.  Then again, if I were apprenticed, 
perhaps that would change the events I would choose to attend, because of 
having a laurel to need to see.

Bonne
