Medieval Recipes of Arthurian Legend

A Journey Through Arthurian Legend

From the golden halls of Camelot, where courtly grace and chivalry reign, to the mist-veiled shores of Avalon, where magic lingers in the trees — this is a feast told in two parts.

We begin where stories often do: with kings and queens, knights and the noble heart of the realm. We will sample the delicate beauty of Guinevere’s table, the strength of Lancelot’s knightly fare, the warmth of Igraine’s hearth, and the legacy of King Arthur himself.

Then we journey onward — into the wild and the mystical. To Merlin the wanderer, Morgan le Fay, the Lady of the Lake… and finally to Avalon, the isle of healing and immortality.
