I don't know if I will ever have the skill to do a large feast. However,
I do often cook period food for both SCA and non-SCA pot lucks. I have
also cooked a luncheon for the Crown and their entourage for one of our
events. Perhaps something like this might give you something you could
do that is a step below a big feast.

If you haven't looked at them, perhaps these files in the Florilegium
