Fellowship of Practical Cookery

Elfsea is home to many keen cooks and willing experimenters. We typically roll away from our revel feasts stuffed to the gills with delicious, medieval food.

There is no formal structure to the Fellowship of Practical Cookery, and unless otherwise declared, everyone in the Barony is assumed to be a member! All level of cooks (from the culinarily-challenged meal-in-a-can cook to the hobby chef) are very welcome, as you can all learn from and offer something to the Guild. All you need is the ability to peel apples and eat.

The aim of the Fellowship of Practical Cookery is to teach people about the techniques, ingredients, health theories and other such matters of early, medieval, and renaissance cuisine, mainly through practical experience. Also the skills of menu selection, budgeting, goods acquisition, etc. that are necessary in cooking for Society events. At the end of the day however, we do it because we like to eat good food and have fun.

Event and recipe inquiries welcome. For details please contact the Principal Cook.
