IronChef Competition
Grimfells MarchWarden Event

Loosely based on a Japanese cooking show, we had 4 teams consisting of no more than 6 people who competed against each other to see who could make the best 14th century English meal using a secret ingredient provided by the Calontir Cook's Guild and outdoor grills provided by Pavel. The four teams were the Mag-Mor Team, the Grimfells Team, the Loch Meadhonach/Deodar Team, and the Cooking Gnomes with members from Mag Mor, Lonely Tower and Forgotten Sea.

There where 5 judges: Etienette lĘBluet, Stephen of Mag Mor, Tatiana Dieugarde, Tsire Tsuevo and Malaak al-Maheem who judged each meal on four criteria: 1. Appearance/Presentation, 2. Flavor, 3. Aroma, and 4. Judges Discretion. Malaak served as our chairman to unveil the secret ingredient, saffron.

Here are some photos from the event. I hope that you enjoy them.
