Lilies 2014 Taste of Calontir

Lilies 2014 Taste of Calontir

The Taste of Calontir is an outreach program by the cooks of Calontir designed to instruct the populace about how great tasting period food could be. Each Taste of Calontir at an event consists of one or more tables each based on a different cuisine.  Each table is headed up by a “team captain” who comes up with a basic idea for his/her table.  Other cooks volunteer a dish towards that table or are recruited by the team captain. Every dish on the table(s) is served in bite sized pieces or servings to let folks have just a taste of the dish. We encourage the team captains to have recipe cards and/or pamphlets containing redacted recipes to share with the folks tasting our food .. and thus spread the love of wonderful-tasting medieval and renaissance food!

HL Simonne Marguriete de La Rochelle (Cyndy Mehrer) has agreed to coordinate the Cooks’ Guild Taste of Calontir at Lilies this year.

HL Simonne prefers written contact via Facebook private message, but can also be contacted (by voice or text) at 573-819-0250 (please no calls/texts after 11pm).
