Menu Planning and Design mind maps

Menu Planning and Design mind maps

These community-made maps show different ways to organize menu ideas. Ideas for dishes groups suggestions under starters, main courses and desserts. The map on meal management and planning brings together factors such as time, the number of people to feed and healthy eating guidelines.

Start with the meal planning map if you want to consider the choices behind a menu. Then look at Ideas for dishes to see examples grouped by course. For a different focus, Café Culture includes seasonal choices, target markets and dietary needs.

Study with the maps

Follow the branches of a map and explain how its ideas connect. You could compare the courses in one map with the planning factors in another. When you want to remember menu items or check your understanding, switch to flashcards or a quiz on the unit page. Choose a map and explore its branches.
