I've tidied up and republished my article on the making of Kumiss, a mongolian milk drink.  I hope you enjoy torturing your friends with this one...

Drake: A Conjectural 16th Century Compounded Gin

​Baron Giles Leabrook is a hoopy dude and a bit of an inspiration for me at times. And as a payback for all the help and advice he's given me over the years, I'd thought I'd make him a special treat.  Giles is a gin man so I'd thought I'm make him a nice macerated gin.  The original contained a little Bilberry and Elderberry - added nothing to the flavour, but turned it pink. Whoops.

​Here is a not pink version:

Drake: A Modern Coffee Liqueur

16/11/2016

I was initially inspired by a friend (Baron Dimitrii Borodinskii, Mat Dolton) who liked coffee to produce a coffee liqueur.  Although I found a few recipes on line,  I'm meddlesome as hell and came up with my own recipe. This recipe is a few years old now but I'm thinking of putting another one on in a few days...

​Which is published here:  Coffee Liqueur

edit: Fixed Mat's SCA name, because he gets all whiny when you spell his name wrong :P

Drake: Feast Allergy Management in the SCA

16/11/2016

First bit of content.  One thing that is close to my heart is making sure that people in the SCA with food allergies are well catered.  It's a two-sided street tho.

It's important for the Kitchen staff to we well versed in how to manage Allergies for a feast.  It's also important for attendees to book their allergies properly:
  *  Clearly stating their allergies
  *  Clearly stating serious lifestyle choices (Vegetarian, Veganism, Kosher, Halal,
            etc)
  * Not declaring food dislikes or food avoidances (avoiding gluten because a
            Mens/Womens health magazine told you too)

I'd love some feed back on this - it's a living article so expect it to grow and expand over time.

Drake: The First of Many Mongol Food Posts

Eggplant Manta is one of my favorite Mongol dishes to make.  It's tasty, easy to make, with no strange ingredients.  It's a bit hard to scale up for SCA events (because of the scarcity of large steamers) but it's possible I guess to cook eggplant and stuffing separately and then bring them together.
