About Us
Our History
The Grand Chefs were created in the Kingdom of Meridies by Sir Robert Hightower with the intent to promote the art of cooking within the SCA and setting higher standards.
When Gleann Abhann (formerly the Western Region of Meridies) became a Kingdom, The Grand Chefs residing in Gleann Abhann desired to continue with their own chapter. With the support of Sir Robert Hightower, we have created our own chapter with our own set of guidelines.
Our Purpose
It is the collective purpose of The Grand Chefs of Gleann Abhann to further the feastcratting experience through encouraging the research and presentation of period recipes, ingredients and techniques, implementing and promoting the use of kitchen management and safety skills during the course of feast preparation, and sharing this knowledge with others.
What is a Grand Chef?
A Grand Chef is a individual who has displayed exceptional ability to organize all aspects of a medieval feast in current times. This includes, but is not limited to, research, modern safety and health requirements, timely presentation, and budgetary concerns.
