[Sca-cooks] Period foods for non-SCA pot lucks

[Gretchen R Beck]

White Torte from Platina (the Ricotta cheesecake found in Cariadoc's Miscellany) -- especially with fresh ginger, it goes over really well.

Most tarts, either sweet or savory, seem to go over well in mundane settings. (well, perhaps not eels unless you have an eely crowd...)

toodles, margaret

Figs in the French Manner from De Nola. Dead simple (dried figs, white
wine, a couple of spices, simmered until the wine forms a reduction),
travels well, keeps well, good served hot or cold, and just outrageously
popular at everything I've ever taken them to. A little spendy but worth it
for the impact.
