How Do You Plan A Menu?
To plan a menu, consider the occasion or event, the number of guests, dietary restrictions, and the budget. Research popular dishes that fit the theme and budget, and make a list of necessary ingredients. Include a variety of appetizers, entrees, and sides. Consider selecting dishes with overlapping ingredients to save money and reduce waste. Don’t forget to include vegetarian and vegan options, and think about any allergies or dietary restrictions attendees may have. Finally, make a timeline for meal prep and create a shopping list to ensure all ingredients are available.
