Easy Cooking for a Crowd Puts the Fun Back Into Entertaining Large Groups!
Do you plan on cooking for a crowd anytime soon? Are you hosting a party or event? Let me show you how easy cooking for large crowds can be. With good planning YOU can do it.
You will first need to answer a few questions like...
When?
Where?
What?
How?
When? Set a date. It is also a good idea to check with your guests to see if they will be available. This way you will cut down on the cancellation rate and help you determine how many guests could potentially come. You now have your guest list.
Where? Do you have enough space in your home? If not, is a friend's house available? In the summer the event could even be held outdoors.
What to cook? Make a menu. What is your favorite dish... the one your family enjoys eating?
Please---Please do not try making a dish you have never tried before, even when the picture looks good.
Now get yourself a coffee or tea and start writing out your menu, there is a lot of easy cooking for a crowd help here.
You know your guests' likes and dislikes. You also know if any of them have allergies.
Will there be children at the party? Older adults? You will need to plan for them.
Next, think about how many pots and pans are required to cook your feast. If you do not have enough, borrow some from a friend.
Do you have more than one stove? How much stove top or oven space do you need?
Make a list of all equipment required for each dish.
When making your menu, write down the time it take to make each dish and how long it takes to cook it. At this moment you might be wondering why, but on the day of your party it will become very clear how important this is.
Try to use seasonal fruits and vegetables if possible. You will find easy cooking for a crowd recipes you can make ahead of time to freeze. You can even opt to use some prepared dishes and cook only the main dish.
When planning a party try and start about a month before the date, as this will give you lots of time to plan your menu and buy some of your supplies. That way you can spread out your expenses. Oh... and do not forget to buy your decorations. If you need help ask your friends most would not mind, planning a party is fun.
If you invest time in the first two weeks it will pay off as you get closer to the big day. You can never over plan. Be prepared and you will see how easy cooking for a crowd can be.
