> I offered to help cook for Purgatorio, Little did I realize that I had
actually offered to create a menu and supply recipes to those several cooks.
Urk!
 Duke Fabian had the excellent requested period food, and specified that he
preferred Near Eastern.
> So, any other ideas?

    Look at Hais in _A Miscellany_  pistachio & almond date ball cookies.  A
big hit, easy to make and can be done ahead of time coz it keeps well.
