Half the fun of hosting is coming up with beautiful and thematic tablescapes and decorations to set the stage for the meal. If you need a few suggestions on how to transform your space, you can turn to Nano Banana in AI Mode in Search to visualize how your table could look.

The meal is at the center of every dinner party. But building a unique menu that will surprise and delight your guests can be as tricky as pulling off the perfect soufflé. You can use AI Mode to help you come up with food themes or brainstorm menu options that match your party’s vibe. And now, you can try our new visual treatment in AI Mode that makes it easier to discover dishes from recipe creators. When you search for a recipe, prominent links will appear at the top of responses with images and useful details like the creator’s name, recipe ratings, and number of ingredients.

Once you’ve landed on your dishes, you can turn to AI Mode to recommend drinks. For example, if you ask AI Mode, “I need help with drink pairings for my dinner party. What should I buy that goes with miso salmon? I'll also serve a cheese platter and key lime pie,” you’ll get several recommendations for what you should purchase and why it complements your meal.

Now that you can connect some of your go-to apps directly to Search, there are even more ways to make your dinner party shine. For example, you can use AI Mode to curate a playlist that matches your vibe, instantly save it to YouTube Music and press play to start setting the tone for your party.

A well-designed menu can bring the whole dinner party together. With Nano Banana in AI Mode, you can also design a menu to print or share in seconds. Try asking, “I'm doing a caprese salad appetizer followed by chicken piccata as the main course and tiramisu for dessert. Could you visualize a menu that I can print and put on the table?”

From creating a menu to discovering the perfect dish to serve, let Search do your dinner party heavy lifting so you can focus on enjoying the company of your guests.
