Greetings,

I have been asked to cook for two specific gatherings at War and I am 
trolling for suggestions as many of these people will be attending both.

	The first is to provide a more authentic flavor to a  catered event  
being attended by some special (to us) people.The main meal is being done by 
a  mundane Restaurant out there. It is my desire to offer small tidbits  with 
the wine and cheeses before the main course. I am looking for things that can 
be made ahead of time, can be cooked over open flame or grill, and will 
impress as it reflects on my household. The recipes, of course, must be as 
authentic as possible (since that is the way I like my kitchen). I am leaning 
to using Le Menagier de Paris, as I am most familiar with this. But I have 
not done too many  recipes in small amounts (seating 15) 

The second, is a larger feast(25+) with multiple removes and equally large 
fighting men. As this is catering to a German inspired group, I am looking at 
Daz Buoch von Guoter Spise. This too must impress. I have all manner of 
kitchen necessities available to me at this event and I have done things like 
this before at War (EK Barons Dinner (25)), but I am looking for that special 
 "oomph" that will provide a feast well worthy of its recipients. Any 
suggestions would be most appreciated....

Andrea, Ostgardr
