My first feast (though I've only done half a dozen) was a May Day
event for about 80 people. I did not know enough to realize that the
small site kitchen was not really adequate to my needs. Home-
sized 4-burner stove, fridge, etc. But we managed. Most of my
dishes came out of Pleyn Delit, I think. All of them were someone
else's redactions. I made roast leg of lamb, garnished with onion
flowers, Tarts in Ember Day, applemoyse, strawberry tarts with a
wine-syrup over them... don't remember the rest.
For dessert, I made an OOP subtlety: a sheet cake (pound cake
from mix), frosted green with flowers (tubes of commercial frosting),
with marzipan dancers around a maypole (candy stick with licorice-
whip ribbons).
It came off pretty well, but I think I've learned a thing or three about
planning and cooking a feast since then.
