Such questions as yours are precisely one of the reasons that I have been
grabbing some of the suggestions and comments about being a headcook as
they come up here on this list. Take a look at these files in the FEASTS
section:
HC-butchers-art (13K) 10/ 4/97 For Headcooks - How to work with
your local
butcher.
headcooks-msg (130K) 8/24/00 Advice for SCA headcooks. Planning feasts.
feast-menus-msg (44K) 4/11/00 Feast menus from various SCA feasts.
feast-serving-msg (78K) 1/10/00 Ideas for serving feasts. How to organise.
fst-disasters-msg (50K) 8/ 2/00 Tales of SCA feasts that were disasters.
fst-entertain-msg (5K) 10/25/00 Entertainment at period and SCA feasts.
Fst-Menus-art (11K) 4/15/99 "On Rules for Feast Menus"
by Lord Daniel Raoul le Vascon du Navarre.
p-menus-msg (31K) 8/24/00 Examples of medieval feast menus.
Run-a-Feast-art (14K) 11/ 2/98 "About Running a Feast" by Minna Gantz.
You didn't mention what type of feast this might be. the following are
for some of the less-traditional SCA type feasts:
pot-luck-fsts-msg (14K) 1/10/00 Handling 'pot luck' feasts in the SCA.
prim-sit-fsts-msg (7K) 9/11/00 Preparing feasts at primative sites
I hope this helps get you started.
