The 10 Project: Recipes of Recreation & Restoration

Take a vintage cookbook from the first half of the 20th century.  Using only the recipes found in the cookbook, construct a menu for a dinner party of 11 guests.

Invite 12 guests.  Purchase the ingredients for the menu and ask the guests to arrive early to help prepare the meal.  Do no cooking yourself.

Assign the extra guest the role of archivist.  Provide no requirements beyond the need to present an archive of the event the week following.

Refuse to eat any of the food.  Insist you are not hungry.  Secretly resent the other diners.  

Publish the archive.
