Winter Menus
We eat a wide variety of foods each week. The menus are seasonal: salads and outdoor cooking in summer; soups, roasts and braises in winter.
For the 7 and 6 Day Menus we try very hard (and almost always succeed) in not having leftover bits at the end of the week. If one recipe uses 1/2 green pepper the other half of the pepper will be used in another recipe later in the week.
Each menu includes:
The Shopping List:
For those lucky enough to have a grocery service you can send this off and have everything delivered
I've cooked for 9, for 3 and for 2. I've catered dinner parties for 4 and for 30. In any given cook book or magazine the recipes are for 2 or 4 or 6 or 8. I decided, when I started this service, that increasing is easier than decreasing.
You will see recipes that use 1/4 cup of polenta, or 1/3 cup of rice. I plan carefully to not make too much food. We have 'planned-overs' not leftovers.
