[Sca-cooks] Teaching in the SCA

[Caointiarn]

Since the list is quiet, does anyone have thoughts on teaching and

I enjoy teaching, and think I do fairly well.  I generally teach
subjects I have been successful at or currently studying.  I'm putting
together a class on bread for the "small Shire circuit" and Uprising.
I've also been teaching a "hands on" class for medieval spices,  passing
around samples of the various spices used in the different kitchens, and
encouraging students to take home a sample or two to experiment with.  
 
My own Shire has lacked a MoAS for 3 (?) years, and in wild northeastern
Artemisia there is a 6 hour drive to the nearest Laurel.  Many of them
don't travel much, hence the "small Shire circuit."  
 
While I've had my share of 1 -2 students in a class,  I have also been
disappointed looking forward to a particular class only to have it
cancelled because the teacher decided not to attend.
