Mists Silver Spoon 2026: The Great Feast-Appetizers
Spring Coronet:
Greetings from your Silver Spoon Minister, Mdm Ghislaine! 1. This is a self judged competition. The entrants will sit together and present their entry/entries. They will then discuss and ask/answer questions of the other entrants while sampling their creations. They will then decide together who the winner of that day is. If there is a tie, then it will be taken to Their Highnesses of the Mists who will make the final decision. 2. My requirement. If you choose to enter more than one Silver Spoon competition this year, try a new recipe with each event. And if you entered last year's run, try something new than what you have submitted before. Cooks and diners love variety!
Now on to the theme for the year: The Great Feast. You are in charge of a great feast. However, you want to try out some recipes before the big day. You have a year to test them out to see which ones show you in your best light. Mists Spring Coronet - Appetizers - What would you create to start off a feast? Think small plates. Amuse bouche. Things that whet the appetite, but don't fill you up so you miss out on the rest of the dishes. Think meatballs or stuffed eggs. Maybe small fruit pies or tarts. Perhaps an assortment of pickled vegetables or stuffed grape leaves. Below are links to help folks find and play with recipes ahead of time. But you are certainly not limited these resources. Go out and explore your local library or other internet sites. Looking forward to seeing you all! https://medievalcookery.com/index.html https://sites.uwm.edu/.../medieval-culinary-texts-500-1500/ https://www.menagier.com/source-materials/ http://www.godecookery.com/mtrans/mtrans.htm https://www.gutenberg.org/files/29728/29728-h/29728-h.htm (Apicius translation) http://italophiles.com/andalusian_cookbook.pdf

Cometh to the Bruidean tavern and share your truth of how the mysterious cloak came into being.
