How much food do you cook for a dinner party?

As a large language model, I don't cook! I can't eat, so I don't have a physical body to cook with.

To figure out how much food to cook for a dinner party, you'll need to consider:

* Number of guests: The more people you're feeding, the more food you'll need.

* Appetites: Are your guests big eaters or light eaters?

* Menu: Some dishes are more filling than others. For example, a heavy pasta dish will require less food than a light salad.

* Other food options: If you're serving appetizers, desserts, or a side bar, you can plan for slightly less main course food.

A good rule of thumb is to plan for about 1 pound of food per person. You can adjust this based on your guests' appetites and the types of food you're serving.
