    • Planning a Menu!
      • Colour, Flavour, Texture
        • Colourful Menus would look more appealing than Black and White.
        • Flavours shouldn't be repeated in a course or from one course to another. E.g. Mushroom soup > Stuffed Mushroom.
        • Different Textures make food appealing. E.g. A dish of minced meat, mashed potato and mushy peas won't be appealing because all the food would have become sloppy.
      • Time of Year
        • Menu could have a cold salad in the summer.
        • A hot stew in the winter.
        • Some food is seasonal - Turkey at Christmas.
      • Appeal to the Customer
        • Food at a childrens party should be full of colourful foods and be healthy and fun
        • Different foods would be appealing for different times of the day - a bacon sandwich would be more appealing than a cassorole

        • Coeliacs must get starch and fibre from other food like rice and potatoes.
      • Nut Allergies
        • Need to avoid food that contain nuts or have traces of nuts
        • Labels will often say if you should avoid the food.
        • Caterers would need to make sure nuts are completely seperate from food
      • Lactose Intolerant
        • Must avoid things such as milk and dairy products.
          • Vitamin D - Calcium, Strong bones and teeth - Eggs and Oily Fish
