This is a text about 谭家菜.
In the phrase: 翰林谭宗浚酷爱珍馐美味，亦好客酬友，常于家中作西园雅集，炮龙蒸凤，沉迷膏粱, i cannot understand the 西园雅集，炮龙蒸凤 part. I've found out that 西园雅集 is a famous painting, but i'm not sure what means in this context (a gathering with friends?)
Thanks.

luxurious and exotic dishes
The second phrase is as same as 炮凤烹龙, meaning 豪奢珍奇的菜肴(luxurious and exotic dishes), from 唐·李贺《将进酒》诗：“琉璃钟，琥珀浓，小槽酒滴真珠红。烹龙炮凤玉脂泣，罗帷绣幕围香风。”

(brushing) painting (in general) and refined food or delicacies or luxurious/unusual food
the first four words do not mean any particular painting, they just stand for (brushing) painting, the last four words are an allusion to 明·冯梦龙《喻世明言》第十一卷:“有《鹧鸪天》词为证：城中酒楼高入天，烹龙煮凤味肥鲜。公孙下马闻香醉，一饮不惜费万钱。” , and refer to luxirous food, etc. Hoping you find the explanation helpful.

Yan Wu
: 西园雅集 is a more of a topic of painting than a specific painting. The origin is a gathering hosted by 王诜 and participated by 苏轼、苏辙、黄鲁直、秦观、李公麟、米芾, etc. The term is used here to describe a gathering of tasteful and elegant people
