Find a commercial cookbook (or a textbook about cooking for large numbers
of people) -- there are going to be differences in the proportions of each
ingrediant for 6-8 people than for 100 people, and having the reference for
the conversion is invaluable.

Not to say the test feast isn't an important key (it is), but that you
can't just multiple everything by 15 and have a reasonable recipe.
