An Elizabethan Dinner Party
12 October 2003

This past Pennsic, as I was sitting in the Food Court, surrounded by fried rice and pizza, I had an overwhelming desire for Elizabethan cooking. Once I got home, and managed to find a free weekend, I threw a dinner party where I could try out a bunch of recipes I'd always wanted to make. I am grateful to my guests for being willing to try so many experimental dishes.
