Extra Credit: Serving a Six-Course Dinner Catering Groups, Sec. 5

Here are the catering group assignments for the final six weeks of class. Again, in order to earn up to 15 pts. extra credit, you and your partner(s) will create one course of a six-course meal.

Rules:

• Meals must be at least 75% homemade, 25% store-bought
• Courses must be enough to feed 20-25 people
• Not all partners must cook, but all partners must contribute equally
• You must submit a recipe for your meal (these will be compiled on our website at semester's end)
• Please do not feel the need to spend a lot of money. This will be more challenging for some groups than others, so instead, think of creative ways to keep costs to a minimum.

I have decided that this six-course meal will be French-themed. Therefore, each course should draw from the amazing cuisines of France for inspiration.

Bon Appetit!
