This is one example.

Barony of Lochmere Entry
Medieval Sweets Creating period sweets from period recipes Circa 1450-‐1610
In January 2011, the Barony of Lochmere hosted their Midwinter Revel. As part of the Medieval Sweets competition, I began researching new recipes to sample in order produce a “sweet” that would be favorable to a modern pallet. As a result, I was able to not only find a recipe that was appealing, but was able to find multiple recipes from different time frames within the SCA and from different regions. As a result, I created a display in similar style to those seen in late 16th century and early 17th century still life paintings.
