Gourmet Buffet Menu
Gourmet buffet menu and party planner for 1 to 2000 people.
This buffet planner will automatically plan a buffet menu for you and give you an ordering list.
Here is a list of the menu items and the appropriate portion sizes. We have calculated the cooked food portion sizes allowing for shrinkage during cooking and presented the raw ingredient weights below to assist you with your food ordering.
You would probably need around 200 – 240 grams of cooked protein for the average person, plus salad as a guide. So I would use 3 to 4 of the suggested dishes below, if you increase the selection you would decrease the amount of protein per person.
So if you have 6 types of protein you could work on 40 grams of protein per person or 240 grams.
It will help if you think about the type of guests, old women and men will eat less than young athletes, for example.
This menu detail will grow as I add the recipes over time. Thanks, Chef Brendan
