Budget: about {{budget}}. Include: 1. A menu of a welcome drink, a shared starter, a main, a side and a dessert, with dishes people actually eat there, not tourist clichés 2. At least three dishes that can be made ahead, and only one that needs last-minute attention 3. A cooking timeline counting back from when guests arrive, starting the day before 4. A shopping list grouped by store section, with swaps for hard-to-find ingredients 5. The table: setting, lighting, flowers and a simple centerpiece 6. A playlist brief by course, and one small ritual or game that fits the place 7. How each dish adapts to the dietary needs above Celebrate the place with respect: no costumes or caricatures of real cultures.
