[Sca-cooks] Calontir's Jubliee Celebration

[euriol at ptd.net]

If available, work under the guidance of someone with experience. Volunteer in kitchens to get insight firsthand and perhaps the opportunity to ask questions. Search out classes/handouts on feast management.

When I worked on my first feast there were three of us who took the iniative to each design and cook a course of the feast. It can have some challenges, but it seemed less overwhelming to think of the logistics of one course instead of the entire feast.

I do teach a class on feast management and I enjoy learning other people's approach to it. I've also guided a few people in the entire process of some of the more recent feasts I've done. Right now I'm in the beginning stages of planning my next feast and I have 2 people that are working with me in order to see how I approach this in all the nitty detail.

All of which begs tht question that needs to be revisited every year-what should the First Time Head Cook do, when awarded the Feast?
Besides joining this list and asking lots of questions <G>

Asking for others who are even newer then I am at this Head business....

It was an experience I truly do not wish to repeat. I have no idea why such a large event got handed to a relatively new shire with no experience in running large feasts, but apparently it handled as a schedule and forget event by the Middle Kingdom Seneschal. What is real sad is that the entire fiasco could likely have been prevented with a few hours with an experienced feast planner.?
