Eating Medieval: Brie Tart

Posted on by Laura

I’m very excited to bring you the first episode of Eating Medieval. Today’s collaboration is with Kathy Opie, writer and cook/baker extraordinaire. Learn more about Kathy at the end of the blog. She and I have collaborated–and we expect to continue doing so–on exploring the world of medieval cuisine, such as Shawn, Niall, and all the medieval cast of The Blue Bells Chronicles would have experienced.

A Kingdom Without Castles

Posted on by Laura

It was a hot and muggy July in 1314 at Stirling Castle on the eastern coast of Scotland. Good King Robert, the Bruce, had just won a great victory at Blàr Allt a’ Bhonnaich  or the Battle of Bannockburn, sending England’s Edward II, his pride and his army crushed, home to think again. But at […]
