Best way to document a feast

What methods would you recommend for documenting a feast for A & S? This will be a 20+ page document when finished, so I'd like to get a format that is easy for the reviewers to digest. What other things should be included along with the recipes and redactions.Currently I have a format of:

Introduction to feast concept
Course

Dish
Period recipe
Modern recipe
Notes: including deviations, historical notes, cooking methods, etc
Repeat for all dishes in course

Repeat for 3 more courses
Conclusion- includes lessons learned, and dish outcomes

How is this similar to/different from how these dishes would have been served? Is this based on a particular medieval feast, an amalgam of feast foods from a certain region, or a broad sampling of medieval recipes?
