I cooked my first feast this past weekend, and I really loved doing
it. I had lots of help, but I also learned a lot of things which I
will definitely remember for the next event I cook, when I can
write down all the things I may some day post them to the list. I
think for the next event I want to do a lot more research. For this
event I wanted to do something that was close to being period, but
would also be familiar to cook. I was delighted that many people
were very full when they left. I guess for now though whatI learned
most about this is I have to estimate quantities better, we also had
about 12 reservations that didn't show up. Still I think we had 82
people on board, and one off board. We had quite a bit of left over
food, but that was good because we had it at clean up the next day.
For the menu I primarily used Pleyn Delit, except for the mushroom
pies(Caridoc's), Peas and Onions(I cheated and used frozen ones), and
the Barley and chick peas which I made up without researching. I put
the noodles in the soup too. Everything except the meats the mushroom
pies and the boiled eggs, had absolutely no meat or dairy products in
them. I didn't want anyone including vegetarians and vegans to go
away hungry.
Thanks to everyone on the list for all the advice I got when I asked
questions!
