[Sca-cooks] Free course - England in the time of Richard III

[Stefan li Rous]

I'm not sure how much food info will be incorporated in this class, but I thought some folks here might be interested in this.

I've already signed up for this particular course and I'm considering several others.

They don't seem to have any course specific to food, but they continue to add courses, so it might be worth checking occasionally. I do see various non-food, non-medieval classes I might be interested in. But maybe this is like being addicted to books. :-) Or being the guy at Pennsic who spent much of his time in the various classes.

I can't tell if these free courses are only an introduction and after this first year they will cost money or not. But if you have the time and interest, you might want to take advantage of some of these as you can.
