Pennsic War, that is.
That’s right, you hungry readers. We’re off again to that crazed medieval reenactment known as Pennsic. With 12,000 other people.
We’ll be camping in period tents, sampling amazing homebrews, taking classes in historical cookery, and making new friends. Although we’re practiced at making these dishes in the comfort of our own kitchen, we’d really love to learn from the best of you some of the top techniques for camp cooking.
If you’ll be there, too (and I know some of you will be!), come and say hello! We’ll be lodged in the back of the N-13 block, right next to Drachenwald. We’ll have a banner with the Inn logo, provided I can finish sewing it in time, and perhaps a couple of Westerosi banners, provided it’s not raining. :)
Be sure to also come to our book signing, at Poison Pen Press on Tuesday between 1-5.
I’ll be posting new recipes as we are gone (Breakfast in Braavos!), but if I can manage it, I’ll also do a post from the site. With so many quirky spice merchants, medieval mustards, and beehive ovens, I’m sure there will be plenty to tell you about.
Stay hungry!

You are SCA-ers too? Suddenly this blog makes a lot more sense.
Have a great time!
That sounds like great fun! I hope ya’ll have a wonderful time and I look forward to hearing all about it.
Fantastic! I’m very excited about the book signing, since I’ve been meaning to pick up a copy of the book, and I would much rather get it directly from you guys. I’ve been hoping to meet you guys for a while, since I have followed this blog for a long time, and made a bunch of the food, and I am pretty sure we are in the same Kingdom. I’m down in E10 (Eldenwood, next to the Horde), feel free to stop by.
Too far to travel for me! Cheers from Trimaris!

Sigh. No Pennsic for me again, this year. Maybe next year…
My parents brought back your book as a souvenir for my husband and I, since we couldn’t make it to Pennsic this year. Now that it’s Fall I’m really excited to try some of the recipes since they tend to run to the hearty side and it’s finally cold enough in Missouri to fire up the stove and oven.
Awesome! I’m so glad the book was a hit, and that we were able to do a signing at Pennsic! Do you know what you’ll make first?
