[Sca-cooks] The collection

[Matthew Maddoux]

My goal is to be a better cook all around, and have a better knowledge base
so I can help with feasts.

Some of the local cooks and I are planning on hosting mini-feast nights
where we invite random members of our groups to dinner in persona.  The
cooks bring out a feast, and we share our art and explain what SCA cookery
is.

I’d like to have a smattering of periods and culture, so if someone in my
Barony asks, I can bring them a book that’s close, and will put them on the
right path.

I will never be a great cook.  But I can help someone else become one.
