First awarded on October 13, 1973, the Hester Spoon is given to the winner of the Barony of the Angels' annual culinary competition held at Angels Anniversary. This is one of the oldest contests in the Kingdom, and is so named because the token is a mother-of-pearl spoon (hence the whimsical reference to Hester Prynne, who is admittedly a bit past the SCA period. For those who were not subjected to it in school, Hester Prynne, the mother of young Pearl, is the sort-of heroine of "The Scarlet Letter.")

The Hester Spoon bestows no title nor is there a device associated with it. Beginning in 2004 or thereabouts, the previous winner selects the next year's theme. 2009 was the first year in which both an SCA and post-SCA period winner was chosen.

(If you are a previous winner and/or are able to provide missing information, please contact Duchess Natalya de Foix at webwright@sca-angels.org.
