Or simply precook the dish containing the alcohol. Despite the posts to the 
contrary any residual alcohol left in a cooked dish is so minute as to be 
nonexistent for all intent and purposes. If those foods are forbidden then 
yeast based breads should also be forbidden since alcohol is the natural by 
product of all yeast activity.  

Actually, our shire has used several sites which are 'bone' dry but have 
never been forbidden the use of cooking wine. I would suspect that either the 
people in charge did not ask about cooking alcohol while providing recipes, 
etc., or that someone read the contract or heard the owner say alcohol was 
not allowed and used their power to make inappropriate decisions without 
pursuing the exception for the kitchen. This happens all too often in the SCA 
and it would not surprise me if such were the case in this situation.
