A part of your menu can be done “Iron Chef” style! Your group will break into competing teams and each team will prepare a dish for judging and a platter for sampling by all guests. Each team receives a basket of “must use” ingredients and has access to basic pantry items (salt, pepper, vinegar, etc). The teams work together to create their dish idea, prepare the actual dish, plate for judges and then await to hear how they’ve done. Time provided for this exercise depends on what part of the menu is chosen by host, ranging from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Three judges are chosen in advance and cannot participate in the actual exercise as they will be judging plates based on appearance, cleanliness, taste and ability to work as a team.
