[Sca-cooks] Hot weather feasts/Italian theme

[Johnna Holloway]

You could do a combined menu of cold items
in the spirit of Scappi. As Baroness Helewyse has noted
" The Italian feast is one that lends itself to feast design within the 
SCA. The courses or services are divided into cold courses, which are 
pre-prepared and served from a "credenza" or sideboard..." with "A 
sideboard, essentially a cupboard containing pre-prepared food, served 
cold."
So one could prepare this feast using her recipes that represent foods 
served off the credenza.

These courses from the credenza are laid out at
