TIPS FOR EVENT PLANNING


Chef Pascale is pleased to share with you few aspects that should make your planning easier. As you begin your party planning please consider the following questions:


Is it a Casual or a Formal Occasion? The occasion set the tone for your event.

When & Where? The location & setting help you to determine how many guest to invite

Guest List: Their number, type and preferences lead you to the right menu selections.

Your Budget helps you to determine the number of guest with the appropriate menu. Whether you are serving a tea party for a baby shower, a sandwich/wraps lunch tray at your office or an elaborate gourmet dinner-buffet at home with friends, COOKING FOR YOU offers a variety of delicious options for any budget.

Invitations may be a friendly phone call for informal get-together to an invitation card for formal event. Be sure to include the essentials: occasion, date, time, location, attire and response required.

Menu Selection: Meeting with few friends or a corporate event, sharing a tasting dinner, maybe are you considering a cocktail party. Your event would determine the kind of menu you select. Plan the main course first.

Mix and Match Flavors, textures and temperatures to assure variety and balance to your meal

Consider Servings Size compare to the season, the time of day, location and your guests profile.
Selecting your ideal menu, ordering and purchasing the right amount of food can be a tricky part of entertaining. As a rule of thumb, allow for a little more than you think will actually be consumed. Please feel free to use this guide to calculate how much food to serve:
