Advice on food amounts for party

[mummynumnum]

DD christening on Sun and having 40ish people. Doing veggie curry. How much rice, broccoli, cauli, potatoes red and white and curry paste and coconut milk shoud I buy?

Sorry, no idea about most of them (the thought of cooking for 40 people terrifies me!) but rice should be about 80g (raw weight) per person. Good luck!

work out the proportions for 4 people (or how much you usually cook for) and mutiply by 7 if your family has large apetite and 8 or 9 if has small one. People eat much less at buffet type things then if they were sitting down to a meal.

yeah-too much drinking instead!
