Period-style cooking is a big part of many SCA events (feasts being one obvious example :)

Many period dishes are simple to prepare and only require ingredients that can be found in any supermarket. Remember that many foods we eat today didn't exist during period and their presence is noticable (to some people at any rate)

There are many ways to participate in recreating medieval cooking. You can join your local cooks guild, cook for a few SCA friends following a medieval recipe, or cook period food over an open fire at a camping event. When using period recipes, you might have to make a lot of interpretative assumptions about what the recipe meant; in the SCA, revising a recipe to include these assumptions in a modern format is sometimes called "redacting", though outside of this context that word has a different meaning.
