Do you find it hard to keep track of your expenses when entertaining? El Gusto has put together a fantastic spreadsheet especially for you!

Simply insert your ingredients and their cost for each component of your menu as you go, and you will have a final figure in no time. If you find a recipe is too high for your budget you can swap it out for another recipe or leave it off your menu altogether.

If you are wondering how this works, have a look at the example template “Grecian Delight” on page 2 of the download. You can see the total costs and how each line item is entered and calculated.
