I can’t decide which is more devastating - leaving guests hungry or wasting perfectly good food because you cooked too much. There may be no right answer to this dilemma, but there is a solution. That solution is menu planning, a skill used by all chefs and all caterers that we, home cooks, often forget about. But it can really help in determining the right amount of food for every gathering, so those who stick to it will benefit tremendously.
