>Our book _The Miscellany_ is webbed at:

>Icelandic Chicken, Mirause of Catelonia, Fylettes en Galentyne, Bourbelier
>of Wild Pig, Tart on Ember Day, Herbelade [this is a meat pie], Spinach
>Tart, Gingerbrede, Torta from Red Chickpeas, Darioles, Ryse of Fische Daye,
>Macrows, and Small Mead--and that is leaving out the Islamic recipes.

are:
>
>1. You should not only try out each dish in advance; you should cook the
>whole feast in advance in miniature (say, for about 8 people--one table),
>in order to find out if things balance, if the quantities of food you plan
>are right, and what problems you are likely to run into.  The guests should
>include the autocrat, at least one unregenerate meat-and-potatoes type, and
>your assistant cooks, who can help you cook this and thereby learn what
>they will be doing.
>
>2. Have a look at the site kitchen in advance and write down a full
>description of the equipment (how big are the ovens; what pots are
>available; how many really big pots can you fit on the stove, etc.).  Use
>this in your planning.  Think about what you will do if any one piece of
>equipment doesn't work on the day.
