[Sca-cooks] Spring Investiture Refreshment Table

[Elaine Koogler]

Actually, I did something similar using apricots rather than dates.  It came
from a recipe done by the Madrone Culinary Guild in their pamphlet about
Mughal feasts.  Turns out the idea is documented in the *Memoirs of Babar*,
from the early 16th century...so this isn't that great a stretch!
