[Sca-cooks] Catering question.

[Ruth Frey]

	Greetings!  It's beginning to look like our local
group will be hosting a large event at a hotel/confrence center
next summer; the hotel has been very friendly and helpful
(they don't seem to mind the idea of herds of people in
outlandish clothing).  They *do* require that all food
be prepared by them (no outside stuff brought in for the feast),
but have proven quite open-minded about having us provide
recipes and some more exotic ingredients (galangal, etc.).
	Has anyone had any experience with having an outside
party prepare food?  Anything in particular to watch for
or avoid?  I've eaten in this hotel's restaurant before, and
the food was *very* good, if not terribly Medieval, so they
are at least competent.
	I'll be interested to hear what folks have to say. :)
