The East has many laurels who cook, but some of those predate the 
concept of "his/her Laurel is for X", and others who cook, but were 
officially recognized for something else, so the numbers of actual, 
recognized cooking Laurels is perhaps smaller than elsewhere. We also 
lost some people who would later become Laurels when Aethelmearc 
became a kingdom in its own right.

We've got Brekke, Caterina von Nurnburg, Dante Felice (inactive?), 
Johanna Dudley, Brighid nic Chiarain, Sinciefu (m.k.a. Cindy 
Renfrow), Brigitte Flamen, Joram Goldspoons and myself. I'm sure 
there are others I'm either forgetting, or misinformed as to their 
primary area of specialization; maybe someone else can fill in the 
gaps. I'm not sure if Brangwayna Morgan is "officially" a cooking 
Laurel, and there's another lady in one of the PA groups (is her name 
Catriona MacLeod?) who is recognized primarily for cookery, I think.

It sounds strange to list these folks and not include people like 
Master Geoffrey d'Ayr, Aidan ni Leir, or Robin Argyle, (or, for that 
matter, Jadwiga) but on paper, these gentles do other things more 
than they cook, as far as I know.

The Eastern colors are purple, gold and green.
