Food is always a personal aspect. We choose based on our mood and taste. These preferences may change but it’s still reliant on our personality. This season, keep these factors in mind when choosing what to serve for your dinner parties. Learn to choose not just what you like to eat, but also something that is for the people coming over.
You can opt to go the Gretchen Barretto route and serve a lavish selection of cakes and other food items. No chance of having a party guest with a sad face with that, right? On the other hand, you can get a little more detailed by specifically thinking about what your guests like. Think about their current achievements or what they love to indulge on during their cheat days. Got it? If you need more help, we have some suggestions down below.
