Howdy ya'll. 
I just got word that the West Kingdom's Fall Collegium 2010 has been moved to November 13. If you were hoping to attend the class on the Perfectly Period Feast for 1420-1440 Catalonia, please adjust your calendars accordingly.

Sadly that's not the bad news. The bad news is spring collegium for 2010 has been cancelled, so any preperatory classes for servers and carvers will be at the outdoor West Kingdom Arts and Sciences weekend. A&S weekend is currently scheduled for June 11-13th.

GM and I will try to attend any local collegial events between now and feast if there are people in outlying areas who would like to be carvers or servers. I may also attempt to teach the guest and staff feast classes at the cook's playdate at the West-Antir war in July.

eta: for more discussion on the decisions around collegium, please see [info]etaine_pommier's  Collegium? post. (sorry, here's the unlocked version, http://etaine-pommier.livejournal.com/241052.html .)

New Project: A perfectly period Spanish Feast at Fall Collegium (23Oct2010 moved to 13Nov10). Primarily based on The Book of Sent Sovi­: Medieval Recipes from Catalonia (backed up where necessary by Chiquart's 'on Cookery': A Fifteenth-Century Savoyard Culinary Treatise,  Arnaldus de Villa Nova's Liber de Vinis, and the new translation of Le Menagier de Paris). The main service sources we hope to use are Enrique de Villena's Arte Cisoria (backed up where necessary by "Boke of Curtasye"/Sloane MS 1986 and Ruperto de Nola). The time period is 1420-1440CE, but the geography (other than "Iberian peninsula") is not quite determined, but likely to be Catalonia.

 A plan is forming to create another PerfectlyPeriodFeast, perhaps at fall collegium in 2010. We'll give this one a proper name.

A Spanish feast primarily based on Rupert de Nola, (c.1529, Nola wrote in Catalan for the Aragonese court in Naples. Aragon and Catalonia covered much of the same ground. Aragon is a political unit and Catalonia is a cultural region.[thanks, Juana!]) Other Spanish sources to be determined, hopefully from 1520-1560. Anybody who can read Spanish, please look over the books listed here: http://www.bib.ub.es/grewe/grewe1.htm and let me know if they are really about food. 

If you'd like to get into this project early, please drop me a line and I'll send you an invite to the yahoo group. The same yahoo group as last time, in case you are already on it.
