What are the mechanics in menu planning?

1. List down your recipes. Before you start planning your menu, it will be better to list down your recipes first so you have a clear idea of what you can cook. It is also best to list down your recipes according to the categories such as appetizers, main course, desserts and beverages. That way, it will be easier for you to sort out the recipes on which categories to place them when planning your menu.

2. Choose a theme for your menu. Once you have listed down your recipes, you can now start choosing a theme for your menu. Having a theme for your menu will not only make your menu more creative and interesting but it will also make your menu more cohesive and organized.

3. Consider the number of guests you will be serving. It is also very important to consider the number of guests you will be serving when planning your menu. This will help you determine the amount of food you need to prepare, so that you won’t end up with too much food or not enough food.

4. Plan your menu in advance. It is best to plan your menu in advance, so that you will have enough time to shop for the necessary ingredients. It will also give you time to prepare any dishes that can be made ahead of time.

5. Be creative and have fun. Menu planning should be fun and creative, so don’t be afraid to experiment with new recipes and flavors. The most important thing is to choose dishes that you and your guests will enjoy.
