Every trip group trip we make we usually assign one night to each couple/person to make dinner for the whole group, this is reason we added meal planning into Travel Group Planner. The 'Your Dinner Night' works great because everyone gets to show off their best meal, you can slack off when it's not your night, and there isn't one person who gets overwhelmed with cooking all the food.
Some tips for planning when it is your night
- Do not make something for the first time for a whole bunch of people. If you mess up, the teasing will never end.
- Figure out things that people can help with. Should they shred the lettuce, cut the chicken, man the grill, etc.
- Music makes everything more fun
- If you are working from a recipe decide if you are going to double, triple, quadruple the servings then make sure to let all your helpers know.
- Give yourself a little more time to cook -eating at 1pm stinks
- Make sure to marinate the chefs! It is vacation after all.
- And lastly - if you cooked, don't clean up.
Happy Cooking and Group Tripping.
