Event Details
Per the words of the event steward Lady Isebel, this first for the Kingdom of An Tir was publicized as, "Perfectly Period Feast North – A Feast Like No Other!"
The period focus for the event was 1487 Tuscany, with attendees immersing themselves in the role of nobles invited to the home of the honored guest Maestra Isolde de la Vielle-a-Roue. Key elements to create an authentic atmosphere were dishware, costuming, recipe choice, and service.
The feast portion was based on two primary sources:
- 1) The wedding banquet of Giovanni Giacomo Trivulitio and Beatrice di Avolos d' Aquino.
- The Trivulitio were an important Milanese family with ties to the church and the military infrastructure, the two powers behind the growing cities and states of Renaissance Italy. Held on April 22nd, 1487, the meal was extravagant, consisting of fifteen courses with over thirty recorded dishes. Delicate sweets opened and, along with a myriad of tarts, closed the feast. A virtual menagerie of roasted birds, sheep and suckling pigs were strewn throughout the menu, and of course the ubiquitous peacock, re-dressed in all its finery and shooting fire from its mouth, was the centerpiece in the eleventh course. Dainty meat rolls and sausages were served as one course, contrasted by whole heads of beef and veal as another.
- 2) The Cookery book and Corpus of Maestro Martino de Como.
- This master chef and his recipes were at the apex of an Italian Renaissance food movement that combined the sour and sweet tastes of the East with the fresh, seasonal products of Italy and the spices of the medieval period. His work is truly a transformational and transitional cuisine.
