A Contest of Cullinary Excellence


To be held at Ice Axe, College of Yarnvid, February 14th

As this event allows open fires and other heating devices (outdoors) and 
happens to occur on the modern celebration of St.Valentine's Day

I propose a contest of cooking skills and merit.

Contest #1 Shall be for the best overall completion of one or more 
period dishes. Each entrant, with no more than 2 helpers, shall present 
one or more dishes as an entry to display their period cooking prowess, 
knowledge, and methods. Entrants will be judged on a basis of 
documentation, source materials, methodology, presentation, and finally 
taste. Each entry will be awarded points for period materials or 
reproductions, prepared in a period manner, with period tools, from 
period sources, etc. 100 pts posible.

Contest #2 Shall be for the most pleasing entry as judged by personal 
senses (taste, sight, smell)

Either contest entry may contain one or more dishes as an entry. Each 
entrant many only present one entry. Any consumable, by digestion, 
products are acceptable. Each entrant may have up to 2 people helping. 
Any entry may contain dishes prepared on-site or off-site. Entries will 
be submitted by 4:00 PM on the day of the event. No advanced entry 
information is required. All entries will be judged by me and whomever 
else I choose. The judges decision is absolute and final.

Prizes:
Contest #1 a cooking vessel, found among a shipwreck believed to be 
Spanish, the N. coast of Africa, Circa 1520. It resembeles a modern 
skillet of about 16 inches but with sloped sided. The metal has some 
rust but has been stabilized chemically. retail value is mildly rediculous.
