I was so honored to be asked to create a recipe book for Seong Myeong Su Daegam. This project ended up being my first feast, albeit virtual.
The result was this Korean Feast Recipe Book for her elevation to the Order of the Laurel in the Kingdom of Meridies which will happen on February 7th, 2021. The feast is based on an elder’s 61st (Korean) or 60th (western) birthday celebration known as 환갑 hwangap. In SCA period Korea, there was a shorter life expectancy, so hwangap was a celebration of longevity. Some of the meal aspects of hwangap are similar to 돌잔치 doljanchi, a baby’s first birthday celebration, a major milestone.
With the blessing of Seong Myeong Su Daegam, I also submitted the feast recipe book itself and two rice cake recipes from the book as two separate entries into the Queen of Doom’s A&S Tourney. I’ll have a separate post about tteok.
