Italian Buffet Menu
Is it unrealistic of me to think I can cook for 120 all by myself?
I'm having a big birthday party for my son and professional catering prices are absolutely ridiculous and I want to do it myself. I think if I preped everything 1-2 days in advance it wouldn't be that bad so the day of the party I could just reheat everything and cook the little stuff.
The menu is Italian/Ecuadorian food consisting of 4 large traya of baked ziti, 20-30 pounds of sausage and peppers, 4 pork shoulder roasts, 1 large tray of rice and beans and cold salads. Maybe I'll cut up some fruit and veggies and make a spread for snacking.
I plan on cooking things in advance in my moms kitchen and I have 2 aunts with in a mile from my moms house who will let me use their ovens. The day of the party I plan on finishing everything up in the halls commercial grade kitchen and keep everything warm on buffet chafers.
Does this sound doable?
You may be able to do it by yourself but you'll be so stressed and tired that you won't enjoy the party.
I suggest you ask your Aunt's and some other relatives to pitch in with the cooking and setup at the hall.
