From a Shell
Lady Prudence the Curious will be hosting a cooking competition at Flight of the Falcon: St. David’s Market Day and Faire. The theme is "From a Shell". At least one of the ingredients used in the dish(es) presented will need to be from a shell, what type of shell is entirely up to the cook.
The competition will be split into two categories: (1) general and (2) entries from members of cook's guilds, including but not limited to the Sacred Stone Cook's Guild. You can enter multiple dishes, but
each dish may only be entered into one category - for example, if you bring three dishes, you can have one in the general competition (brownies with walnuts) and two in the Cook's Guild category
(one of crab cooked in the Roman style and the other a 14th century dish of peas with boiled eggs).
The competition is meant both to be easy to enter for the newcomer, after all this is a newcomer event, and to encourage period cooking for those ready for the next level.
The general competition will be judged on adherence to theme (10 points) and workmanship (10 points) (workmanship includes appearance, aroma, flavor, and texture), for a total of 20 points
possible.
The Cook's Guild category will also be judged on complexity (5 points), documentation (10 points), and authenticity (10 points), for a total of 45 points possible.
Please include a full ingredient list with any dish.
If you need more information about the judging criteria, please review Atlantia A&S cooking single dish criteria to define workmanship, complexity, documentation, and
authenticity: http://moas.atlantia.sca.org/judging/cooksd.htm. The point scales have been modified as specified above.
Sign up for the competition will start at 10:00am. Entries must be on-site and entered in the competition no later than 11:00am as judging begins at 11:15 sharp. Please note any dish presented, after
judging, will be added to the Dayboard and plan proportions accordingly.
