Menu planning, strange as it may sound, can define the entire event. Even, it is not necessary to choose the complete menu to start, simply choosing a dish or a dessert can be the initial kick that starts the rest of the organization. For example, we may want to prepare the main course that is more classic and sophisticated in style. This will then determine the entree, appetizers, and dessert.
Steps to follow:
1. For the elaboration of a menu, the budget must be taken into account, for some the food may be more important than the drinks.
2. The number of guests must be established, within these how many are young people or adults and specific requirements such as a balanced diet and an optimal combination of foods.
3. Plan for a wide variety of flavors and textures. Include a varied mix of ingredients, trying not to repeat them in different dishes, and think about color and presentation, dish by dish.
4. Try not to overload on calories and don’t skimp on portions. 10 sandwiches per person are calculated. Non-alcoholic drinks range from 3 to 4 glasses per guest and a bottle of wine serves 5 to 6 glasses.
5. Calculate two-thirds of a bottle of white wine and one-third of red wine. If you only serve wine or cava, calculate half a bottle per person.
6. In case a birthday is being celebrated, it is customary to finish with the cake or cake, in this situation it is recommended that the cake be the star of the menu. Otherwise, a table with different cakes and desserts should be presented so that the guests can taste a wide range of sweet flavors to close the party.
7. Also the menu will define the furniture of the party and the clothing of the table. For example, if we have the idea of making skewers or brochettes, the table and furniture will not require people to sit down.
8. We will have open space, napkins and so on. If instead, we want to make delicious cheese fondue, for example, we must ensure seating space for all diners, preferably on a circular table, so that everyone has access to the container.
