She did not find that to be the best plan, but he was the client. If the chef came around as she was there, she would have to figure out how to keep things running smoothly. It had happened before, thus her request, but she was adaptable.
"As you wish." She nodded, though also surprised Baron McPadriac would want to personally give her the tour of the kitchens and show her how it was arranged. The way he had spoken about the staff had given impressment that he did not deal much with the lower floors. So, he apparently did stay aware of what was done in all areas and not just the property itself. A positive on his side, in her mind.
She wrote his last name on her calendar moving over to the next page for the month of March. She put the time with a question mark and the time of 8 pm next to it. Going over to her blank page with his name she also put the date and possible time. Though here she added the notes about how many people and a note to check with the final number two days before.
She made the other notes, nodding as he explained the kind of climate he was hoping to create. "To give the guests a feeling of having been to a fine event, I would recommend 10 to 12 courses. Those don't happen as often any more even in the noble houses in London." She gave him a look with a thought of consideration. "Seven to nine courses are also found to be memorable." She didn't go lower as those were typically expected for any big event. Some of the middle-class clients had started with having six courses on their fancier events, though tended to go with three or four.
"Is there any food that you would like to avoid?" She glanced at him ready to write down further notes, though she was already coming up with ideas for various courses to discuss with him.
