In my case, I have volunteered by submitting a feast proposal, been 
recruited by event stewards, been recruited by the B&B and dropped on the 
event steward, and been recruited to handle the baking by other head cooks. 
In the case of the First Ansteorran-Calontir Interkingdom Peace, Erlich du 
Battenhelm and I created a feast, then recruited an event.  I've also been 
shanghaied from the floor of an event to try to help save the feast.

When being recruited, to better serve my patrons, my first question is, 
"What is the theme, period and location of the event?"  Then I create the 
menu to fit the requirements and the site.
