10 DAY MENU

 The hiring agents usually expect to see a sample menu for 3-7 days. I have found that writing a ten day menu simplifies my life as it covers all bases. This menu gives the clients an idea of the type of food you will be preparing for them. This is a very important part of your package and plenty of thought should go into it.

Breakfast Menus- Every breakfast should include fresh pastries or muffins ( I like making the mini muffins as the guests have less guilt if they are on a diet and can be eaten in one bite) and a fresh fruit platter. You should have on your menu ten different breakfast meals for each day but also list that a la cart breakfast to order is always available.

Lunch Menus- The lunch menus can consist of two to three courses and should be lighter style meals that wont put the client into a food coma. My menus contain a salad and an Entree

Dinner Menu- The dinner menus should be at least 4 courses that consist of an Appetizer, Salad, Entree and Dessert.

It is also good to include a small list of Canapes and Hors d'oeuvre's

While writing your menu, keep in mind to show the diversity of your cooking experience and try to not cook the same proteins 2 days in a row.
