Segment of Heures a l’usage de Rome c. 1487

Join us on Northpass for Sunday Solar on January 19th, from 1 to 4 pm for a discussion about spices in Medival cooking.

Please bring an item for the snack potluck that includes ta spice found in the Medieval period and tell us a little bit about that spice.

You can go with something commonly found in modern times like cinnamon, ginger, or garlic. Or feel to delve deeper and bring something with a more obscure spice.

Potluck contributions do not need to be period or made by you.

An ingredient list is appreciated due to food allergies.

Feel free to also bring a project to work on while we chat.

Please RSVP with Vitasha for the address.
