You might want to check out Feasts: Menus for Home-cooked Celebrations by Leslie Newman (cowrote the Christopher Reeves Superman movies.).

Yes, it was written in 1990. But the ideas are still good. Leslie was written up in the NY Times for her NY Eve party for 200. Which she cooked for by cooking for 20 people ten times. (Like 10 big pans of lasagna, etc. But she explored lots of cuisines). Sound familiar?

You can get used copies in quite good condition at used book sites like Alibris for less than $10.
