Culinary Arts: How To Run An SCA Feast, October 27

The Crown Province of Østgarðr invites you for a hands-on lesson on planning and preparing a meal for an SCA event.

Hosts Brandr Aronsson and Friderich Grimme will share their experience with cooking dayboards and feasts for both local and kingdom events. Topics will include menu selection, the planning process, and on-site logistics. We’ll talk about preparations for an upcoming event and will aim to get our hands dirty in the kitchen.

This session will be perfect for people who’ve already done a bit of cooking but have questions about how to build up from there to serving a historically-themed meal to a large group.

Join us on Sunday, October 27, from 11 AM to 4 PM, at Brandr’s home, located at 3208 Farragut Road, in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. The nearest subways are the 2 train at Flatbush Ave and the 5 train at Newkirk Avenue; the nearest bus stops are on the B44 and the B6.

All are welcome. No Society membership required. Modern attire. If you have questions, reach out to Brandr at 113751@members.eastkingdom.org.

Deck the Halls of Valhalla infused our hearts with joy and warmth, marking a splendid beginning to the new year. The blend of new faces and cherished friends created an atmosphere of true delight, making the event exceptionally memorable. From outstanding classes to delectable food, every element of the day contributed to its perfection. Thank you to all who made this event a success, especially our two co-stewards Drasma Dragomira and Arnora Ketilsdottir.

Angelica and I were overjoyed to welcome Vitasha Ivanova doch’ into the esteemed Order of the Silver Lantern. Likewise, Abu Duruz Ibrahim ibin Musa al-Rashid received well-deserved recognition and joined the prestigious Order of the Silver Sea Lion and Silver Lantern.

But wait, there’s more to celebrate! This past Saturday at Birka in the Barony of Stonemarche, Perez ben Meir Gershon was honored with his induction into the Order of the Silver Brooch for his exceptional culinary skills.
