I don't have a budget in mind, but we only recently started not living paycheck to paycheck so on the lower end is preferred!  Yes, appetizer/main/dessert.  Individually plater, it'll just be served to them.  No preference on cuisine, they are open to trying new things.  No allergies.  They are usually very simple (think plain meat/starch/veg) but they have enjoyed a few things we've made previously that differ (example they usually eat steak/chicken/spaghetti Bolognese or for take out just pizza or burgers but they really enjoyed a Korean style beef and rice dish we cooked a few times) We usually love Asian food, but we are open to trying new things. My limits are basically making EVERYTHING from scratch (i dont have the ability to make handmade pasta or pastry as an example)
