Well, I can't help you with specifics on particular foods or what

facilities it will take to cook them, but you might direct your friends
to the FEASTS section of the Florilegium, for a number of comments and
articles on planning a feast and things to be prepared for.
For the period Italian stuff, they might want to look at these
specific files:
