Would love to, Dave. 
Del and Martin are kings of funk, as we know. What's German for "Get down on it." ? 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Actually I rather fancy a bit of cooking
Welcome aboard Martin, hope you will be ok with an SS camo apron.....
The only re-enactment spec footwear I have is a pair of jackboots. Will these be OK? I see one guy in your reference pics wearing a pair with what looks like HBT gear.
I've got a spare pair of low boots, Kamerad, but I don't expect you're size 12.

Who are you selling them to? Cos I might buy them off you.
I could sell them to Mr Sole then. 
my boot saga, if you had forgotten: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=5403
It will be like buying a bit of history 
What kind of cooking facilities do you have on site? I have a bunch of authentic 30's style Eintopf recipes from my aunt, basically stews or thick soups that can be cooked in a single pot - hence the name. Do you want to go down that road or keep it more conventional? I can also get rye bread, Zwieback and whatnot from the German deli. Anything that people don't like?
Heh, I have a personal loathing for all foods Germanic. Luckily we are based in Italy and blessed with plenty of local produce and an obliging baker.
What we do catering-wise depends to a degree on the show - whether we are allowed a fire pit or not. If not then the easiest course is heating up pre-prepared food (stews, soups etc) on secreted modern gas cookers. Even if we are allowed a fire pit then than can just keep a constant source of hot water going...

Just because your the officer, don't rule out eatable opportunities for the NCO's and Men !! 
I just did!
The reality is that we wouldn't ship food hundreds of miles when we have all we need locally, and we ain't living on personal rations either. Life is reasonably comfortable in our rear echelon camp...
Next you'll have us looking for Italian women, to tickle your fancy !!
Already in hand, courtesy signorina Deveaux (well, as far as cleaning & domestic duties go...) 
Still, the question of catering is perfectly valid. Historically we have done bacon & egg breakfasts over an open fire but this is probably an unnecessary endeavour as it was unseen by the public. Last event we just used gas stoves. Lunch can just be bread & soup - easy to heat up whether in view of the public or not (as long as it is eaten in public gaze). Evening meal will again be unseen by the public so it doesn't really matter what this is as long as it is cheap, easy and liked by all! Dave B has usually brought pre-cooked stews etc but it isn't fair for him to do that every time so we do need to seek alternatives...

Funnily enough that's exactly what they DID do. Living off the land was considered very 19th Century. I can do whatever you like, eyetie food, bacon & eggs, whatever. Just getting some ideas together to make it more interesting .
We aren't living off the land - we are surrounded by shops and farmers who are only too willing (OK, some are a bit reluctant) to sell us the provisions we need. We are depicting a rear echelon camp, not a front line, maintaining vehicles, stockpiling supplies, a link in the communication chain, and so on.
Have you read Rations of the German Wehrmacht?
A huge amount of scientific research had gone into what diet a German soldier needed. The average Landser in a real echelon unit was expected to use between 2.2kg to 4.5kg of German-made provisions per man, per day (9.0kg - 11.4kg for combat troops). That included foodstuff, ammunition and clothing - all of which came from The Reich by road or rail. You're not going to get that volume of provisions from Giuseppe the farmer or from the local corner shop
