Looking through the headcooks-msg file in the FEASTS section of the
Florilegium, I find this message. I beleive this is the list you are
looking for. (pasted below)

As far as permission goes, I believe Aoife's email address has changed
since this message was posted. I don't believe she is currently reading
this list.

> 2. Thou shalt tie back thine scraggly locks before entering the Kitchen.

> 3. Thou shalt not pester the cooks, and thou shalt obey the Chef.
>
> 4. Thou shalt pay for thy disturbances of the kitchen staff with chocolate.
> Likewise, thou shalt turn a deaf ear to the rowdy disturbances of creativity
> in the kitchen.
>
> 5. Thou shalt not borrow kitchen equipment or supplies without permission.
> Thou shalt return every piece of equipment thou borrowest in tip-top

>
> 6. Thou shalt honor thy cooks with backrubs and praise often, for verily,
> without them thou wouldst go hungry.

> 7. When thou carest not for what is put before thee, thou shalt simply say
> "No, Thank-you", for those who wouldst shout "My God, that's disgusting"

> 8. The Cooks of thy acquaintance surely have not been fed while they have

> 9.  Thou shalt have a soft chair and a glass of "something with a kick" for

> 10. Thou shalt help thy cook load the wagon for the journey home, for verily
