When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious reasons. Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s favourite drinks.The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can help you carry it! On the day, start cooking early.
