[Sca-cooks] making ahead and freezing...

[Stefan li Rous]

Aurelia mentioned that using boiling bags did not occur to her for the 
feast she just did:
> For my first feast (which was yesterday) I froze the
> rabbit pottage, and stage one of the chicken ambrogino
> (browned chicken and onons) and chickpea soup.  Other
> than intensive work to thaw the stuff, (boil in a bag
> never occurred to me) it worked great and everything
> tasted nummy (i'm told, I didn't get a chance to eat
> most of it.)
We've discussed boiling bags, including using substitutes, on this list 
before. Some of this info can now be found in this Florilegium file. 
This technique can also be applied to household cooking at outside 
events to provide period foods where time or facilities do not 
otherwise allow them to be enjoyed.
