> Olwen wrote off the "top of her head" :  {ouch! doesn't that hurt?!}
> A list of pointers to different lists/sites/etc is definately a good idea
but I agree there is lots more to the head cook process besides deciding on
a menu.
> Beginning with bidding for the event if that is a necessary step where
they  live.
> Deciding with the autocrat any theme.
> Is lunch, fighters fare, etc coming from feast budget.
> When is money available for draw-down.
> Rounding up reliable kitchen staff.
> Portion control and how to expand the existing recipe to feed how many
people.<

    All of this and plenty more gets covered in my Head Cook class  -- 
beginning with: "BEFORE you volunteer to be Head Cook, this is what you need
to do . . . .

  For the Kitchen Wench class,   I was thinking more along the lines of cool
cooking/kitchen techniques to teach people wanting to do more in a kitchen
than peel & chop veggies/ scrub pots.

But thank you for all the suggestions so far!
