A good meal has to be prepared in advance. Anticipate your purchases and freeze your products. But first, take the time to compare the prices between supermarkets. To further reduce your bill, choose seasonal products. For the main course, choose less expensive meats like turkey, chicken, pork round or even poultry supremes. A tip: remember to put the same ingredient in several dishes to avoid buying several products. For the main course, you can replace the turkey with a nice roast chicken. Serve it with a mash drizzled with truffle oil, it will be simply delicious and inexpensive. If turkey is essential for you, go directly to a producer. Fewer intermediaries = a cheaper product.
For a gourmet table effect without breaking the bank, opt for the “miniature versions”. Make mini-quiches, appetizers and small pastries (financiers, mini chocolate cakes, macaroons). Give the impression of a well-stocked platter by adding dried fruits (nuts, hazelnuts, dates…). Why not offer an aperitif-dinner worthy of the most beautiful receptions? Your guests will be amazed, your wallet too! To save money, use expensive products in small quantities. Garnish your chestnut, lentil or pumpkin soup with diced foie gras, instead of serving in copious slices. For salmon and lobster, add a little to your recipes to add flair to your plates. Know that presentation is essential! With careful dishes, simple foods can become real stars.
Contrary to what one might think, hiring a caterer is not necessarily overpriced. offer, for example, quality dishes such as a salted foie gras crumble with fig chutney and gingerbread as a starter, followed by a capon stuffed with black truffles and old-fashioned vegetables.
