I use my own...

[Basil The Hobbling Chef]

Well as a chef for 15 years I pretty much plan a menu and go shopping. I am capable of cooking for up to about 100+ alone but any help is appreciated. And I always get it from the NERO Widows club. I cant say enough about Michell and my own Terri, even Esmeralda. I would also like to thank Kathy for all the help she has put into the tavern. She is also the one who has taken it over when I left. All are here in Las Vegas chapter. My hardest part is the serving. I think next time I do it I will set it up like a buffet or like the lunch line in school. I never have good enough servers. But at least I get them from a small group of players who like to earn gobbies and IG coin. If any one wants any advise or help menue planning just send me a pm here or an e-mail.

About a week before the event I finalize my menu and then formulate a shopping list. Takes me a couple of hours to do the shopping on Thursday or Friday because I use two or three different stores. I usually do the serving like a school lunch line myself. Most of the time it is just me. Occasionally I have a couple other people helping. I usually lack a sufficient amount servers as well.

I like to look through recipes and then modify them for myself/NERO. Like last night I made a turkey meatloaf at home totally off the cuff with just stuff I had here at the house. It was the tastiest most moist mealoaf I have cooked in a long time.

I love doing my tavern at NERO. It's fun doing all the planning and then seeing my ingrediants come together to form something tasty to eat.

I usually use a Betty crocker cook book and multiply the recipe's out for large numbers of people. =)

LoL, I have almost all of the 1974 BC cook books...

We usually pull recipies from a varitey of cookbooks or just throw stuff together from random ideas
