🌮 1. Your Menu: The Essence of Your Kitchen

On Homlunch, your menu isn’t just a list of dishes, it’s an experience that reflects who you are as a host and what makes your kitchen special.

🍲 Define Your Style and Specialty

Ask yourself:

  • What type of food do I love to cook?

  • Which dishes represent me or tell my story?

  • What local flavors can I highlight?

👉 If your specialty is traditional Mexican cooking, make it shine. Diners love discovering authentic flavors and homemade recipes they can’t find in restaurants.

💬 Build Trust and Connection

Give your dishes warm and inviting names. Instead of writing “Assorted Mexican Food,” try something like:

“Sunday-style homemade meal: enchiladas, red rice, and hibiscus water.”

These small details create instant connection with diners.

🧑‍🍳 2. How to Choose the Perfect Dishes for Your Homlunch Menu

Your menu should show variety while keeping your personal touch. The ideal balance is 3 to 5 dishes that represent the best of your kitchen.

🌽 Focus on Homemade and Local

Diners come to Homlunch looking for real, home-cooked flavors meals that feel made with love.
Dishes like mole, tamales, soups, tacos, or traditional desserts are always crowd-pleasers.

🌶️ Offer Something for Everyone

  • Show the entire dish and highlight its textures.

  • Avoid heavy filters, authenticity sells best.

✍️ Write Descriptions That Make People Hungry

Your words should almost let diners smell your food. For example:

“Homemade mole enchiladas with a family recipe, served with red rice and freshly cooked beans, just like Sunday lunch at home.”

A description like this invites and delights.
