[Sca-cooks] Here I go again....

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

Those of you on multiple lists, please excuse the duplication.

I was recently asked if I would be willing to be head cook for the EK Spring 
Coronation.  Since I evidently don't have the sense that God gave a turnip, I 
said, "Yes".  

This will be the largest and most important feast I've ever done.  I've done 
large feasts, but never for as many as 200.  I've done feasts for RP events, 
and for one smaller Kingdom event, but never a major Kingdom event.  I'm 
planning on two large courses -- one German, and one French -- followed by 
a dessert buffet.   I don't know a lot about German cuisine, and I do not read 
German.  I own the new translation of "Guter Speis", and I've bookmarked 
Valoise Armstrong's translation of Sabina Welserin and GwenCat's partial 
translation of Rumpolt.  Any other sources I should consult?

I expect to be asking a lot of questions in the next four months, especially 
from the folks who are knowledgeable about the German sources.  Advice 
will be very welcome.  In the meantime, I'll be over there in the corner, 
whimpering softly.  :-)
