I think you are going to have to pick a time of year, first.
When you say you wish to work with foods "in season" are you speaking 
about foods that are "in season" for where your events are held? Or for 
what was in season for a particular spot in Europe?
There is this file in the Florilegium which talks about food seasons in 
a general way and has a listing of when some particular foods were in 
season:
