Um... no.
I suspect that the person who provoked this question is confusing the
amount of time it takes to DO a meal, with the amount of notice required
to the cook.

Your estimates of how much time it takes jive about with mine, though.
 
*grin* in a completely unrelated situation, a friend of mine was working
with someone on a feast. The other person gave her the recipes a week and
a half before the feast; 3 days before the feast, the other person ran
into a family emergency and had to bail. Everything came out pretty well,
considering.
