So, after winning my first round of the siege cooking contest, I went on to the finals. Thankfully, I had a day in between, as cooking for the first round had taken ALL day, and the final round was likely to be the same. After the first round, I was exhausted and sore, though happy.
I've been cooking in the SCA, one way or another, for the last 10 years. I have experience working in camp kitchens and real kitchens, cooking for anywhere between 10-100+ people for traveler's fare to feasts and everything in between. This blog has tips and tricks for cooking at events, along with feast menus, recipe sources, and other assorted thoughts regarding medieval cookery.

Cooking while Camping
Welcome back to the kitchen. If you look around, you may notice something different...namely, no solid walls or roof, and we have a campfire nearby. Oh, that's right...we're in camp this time.
Siege Cooking at Pennsic - interesting experience
So, I had an interesting new experience at Pennsic this year. I actually got to participate in a siege cooking contest. I've run two of them in the past, but never gotten to compete.
