[Sca-cooks] at the risk of overmarzipanning folks

[Peter Ryan]

The cheapest way to get marzipan is to make it. I buy ground almond for
$8/kg (Australian) at my local produce market. In fact I am about to load
Peregrin ap Gwynfor into the car and buy 5kg of it for Lochac's November
Coronet this weekend. I bought 2kg last week for my lady, Gwir to make the
sotletie for this event. We chewed through another 3kg last month for the
Fruits of the Forest Feast II which I autocratted and she feastocratted. I
can't seem to put my hands on the recipe she uses at the moment, but I may
get to it after the mayhem of this weekend.

i have found that i may be in the need of learnign how to deal with
marzipan, and since i seen that Olwen is the queen of said confection, where
can i get it, cheaply, or should i say inexpensively and a place to get
molds as well, this will be for a feast in Jan, and thought i might as well
experiment for the holidays before it is feast time.

So any info at all would be much appreciated.

In Service and excited to learn something new
