Instruction
1. Before making the menu for a month, analyze flavoring preferences of family members as it is necessary to make a start from them at premeditation of dishes. Consider the days off and holidays as these days also interesting recipes are usually used more difficult on structure. If it is impossible to make it at once, just write down those dishes which are cooked within the last month on a single sheet. Then to drawing up the new menu the approximate list will be already available, it will be necessary only to order it and to add.
2. Don't try to capture the whole month at once, plan the menu for a week. Take an album leaf and divide it into several columns: meat and fish dishes, soups, garnishes, salads, pastries. Include names of the recipes used in family in these columns. This list will help to facilitate the choice by drawing up the daily menu.
3. When the list is ready, take a notebook and begin to make the approximate plan of dishes for week. As in many families prepare for several days at once, actually for 7 days it will be required to think up only several various recipes of hot and meat dishes. The main attention will be paid to garnishes. When choosing dishes consider various variations on the same products that will allow to save time for preparation of dishes. Let's say from forcemeat it is possible to make not only cutlets, but also quenelles soup.
4. It is necessary only to calculate what quantity of products will be required for preparation of the planned dishes and to buy them at once for one or two weeks. Wholesale purchases give the chance to save money and to avoid acquisition of excess products without which it is possible to do. It is necessary to visit shop only once in several days for purchase of fresh bread and dairy products.
