Meal Planning
Last updated:
Plan the perfect holiday feast by first determining the number of guests and considering their dietary needs. Establish a budget and decide on a theme or cuisine. Design a well-rounded menu, incorporating a mix of hot and cold dishes with diverse textures and flavors, using seasonal ingredients. Create a shopping list, purchase non-perishable items early, and allocate time for meal preparation. Consider make-ahead dishes to save time on the big day. Organize serving essentials and set a festive table. Prepare a cooking timeline, delegate tasks if necessary, and finally, cook, serve, and enjoy the feast with your guests.
