Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I'll try here and the crafter's section. It's kinda different.

Faire friends! I put a challenge to you! I'm building a cookbook - and I want my Fairemily's best ideas! The working title for this cookbook is: The Fare of Faire, A Compilation of Flavors from Renaissance Festivals Across the Country. I'm hoping to compile enough recipes to build a publish-able cookbook! And I want everything: main dishes, sides, appetizers, soups, veggies, drinks, cocktails...whatever you got, I'll take!

If you have anything you want to share, post in the thread, and please message me as well so that I can give proper credit where it's due (real names and your general location, as well as your home faire)

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Merlin the Elder started collecting recipes for a RESCU cookbook. You might talk to him.

I didn't collect much from anyone... I think it was you and I and two others, Doña.

Are you looking for period dishes, Cara? ...or just our favourite recipes?

Mainly just everyone's favorites, but I'll take period too!
And Merlin, if you want, feel free to e-mail me the recipes you recieved. I think that I will donate at least 50% to RESCU...

I don't use recipes so I can't really help you out. For the most part, my measurements are pinch, handful, or until it reaches the right consistency.

I'm planning on trying all the recipes out first, so if you want me to try to "translate" your recipes, feel free to post them! I'm pretty good at converting "pinches" and "handfuls" into teaspoons and cups. My grandmother cooked the same way.

Some of my recipes use a pressure cooker. I'm not sure how to translate that into non-pressure cooked, though it may only affect cooking time and water added.

Pressure cookers are becoming more widely used again, Merlin. Go ahead and post/send them if you'd like...I was poking in the bookstore the other day, saw 5 books of pressure-cooker recipes!
