I have 12 guests and a recipe for Roast Turkey that serves 8. How much turkey and seasoning do I need?

To serve 12 guests, you will need 1.5 times the original recipe quantities. This includes 15kg of turkey and 45g of seasoning.

What items do I need to buy for a formal dinner for 6 people?

For a formal dinner for 6, you will need 6 plates, 6 dessert spoons, 6 forks, 6 knives, 6 spoons, and 12 pieces of glassware.

I want to serve dinner at 7:00 PM. When should I start preparing my recipes?

Based on your recipes, you should begin preparation at 3:30 PM to account for all cooking and resting durations before the 7:00 PM serving time.
