Posted at January 26, 2013, 9:08 pm: I have been asked to compose 3 menus for a Christmas dinner buffet. The perimeters are 2 meat choice, with accompaniments (which I can handle), an appetizer and dessert. It is for approx 65-100 ppl at this point and the price point is 15 bucks pp. This is my first year catering fulltime and I am at a loss. One of my menu thoughts was a Crab Stuffed Flounder Roulade with a Mornay sauce (figuring that the roulades would hold up well, and be easy for them to pick up, and Pork Tenderloins with Madeira sauce would already be cut into portions. My concern is cost obviously…..but also presentation. So my questions are: What types of entrée dishes could I prepare that have a low cost but high impact appeal? (I feel pretty good about the side dishes, apps and desserts already). Do any of you have any Christmas menus that I could look at and possibly derive some inspiration from? I am in a small town, I am not sure if the price point is low or what? Any thoughts? All we are providing is food, drinks (going to use the punch fountain), and buffet presentation dishes. They have everything for service, (plates, linens, tables etc.) Some of the ideas I had for the apps were: Hot crab dip (requested by client for one of the menus) Hot artichoke dip Mini crab cakes with roasted red pepper romulade Beef and blue cheese crustinis Oh and I was thinking about offering a “soup shot”. I have cruised some catering sites and seen them displayed. How does this work in practical application? And what types of soups would be good for this? Are these mostly for summer months?

Frisbee, No, the eggplant dish is stacked and served as a single st... I see rice in your future. I use food as garnish on buffet tables. This menu is still in the inception stage. Can be anything at all I guess it may sound kind of mundane but have you formalized any kind ... In my not-so-learned opinion, if you're going to go with stuffed peppe... ok one more time every one.
