Task
You have recently returned from a long stay in France and will be preparing a meal for your family. This will be a big, sparing no expense kind of dinner.
Firstly, you will choose a few traditional dishes to serve and create a short menu for the meal. Your dinner will include an appetizer or salad, a main meal with side dishes, and a dessert.
Second, you will create a shopping list of ingredients that you will need to purchase to start your cooking.
And, yes, it will be written in French.

Step 1:
Decide what you are going to serve.
All dishes must be traditionally French.
You need to include:
a. An appetizer or salad
b. A main entree
c. Two side dishes (vegetables or grains or...)
d. A dessert
You may include more offerings than the required if you wish.

Step 2:
Create your menu for the dinner. The style is up to you, it may be done on the computer or by hand. Two examples follow below - remember that they are just examples.
Step 3:
Looking at recipes for the dishes you are going to serve, create a shopping list of the food items you will need to purchase to create your meal. A shopping list needs to include the ingredients for the dishes that you will be serving.
