If it's too hot you'll roast in the kitchen, and air conditioning often can't keep up with too much body heat. If you want to serve your feast in Winter, make sure you have good heating. Remember to include cold dishes if the weather is warm and hot ones if the weather is cold. It also helps to have multiple refrigerators. Dealing with Guests Always ask your guests before you plan your menu what their allergies are, and what sorts of foods they hate.
Food allergies can be life-threatening.
Make sure you don't invite too many people for the space you have. It's handy to set up your feast a little while in advance, so that people won't have already made other plans. But you'll also want to remind them of the event about one to three weeks in advance. Remind them of such things as date, serving time, when they're welcome to come over, and how formal or informal things will be. Try to send out the menu with that reminder.
