The ability to cook? :-) Actually, while the headcook needs to be
able to cook, I think the ability to organise a team, to be calm
headed when a problem arises (and they will), to be able to handle
the logistics involved and to inspire that team are more important
than being a spectacular cook. The ability to be able to work with
the event steward is also a plus.

Perhaps this file in the FEASTS section of the Florilegium might

prove of use to you:

Tavern-Feast-art  (14K)  1/13/99    An all-day tavern-style feast.
