Parties are upon us so let’s have an orderly mayhem with 10 party planning tips:
- Choose your recipes from Gourmandia and start listing the ingredients you need.
- Make sure you have enough food. Allow 10-12 canapes per guest for an evening drinks party.
- Do what they do in restaurants : Pick up “extras”now. Napkins, cocktail sticks, bin liners, all come handy
- Try serving a simple cocktail as guests arrive.
- Drinks needn’t be expensive look out for special offers on Champagne
- If your supermarket or wine shop does free glass loan, take advantage of it.
- Save time by ordering wine and spirits on line
- Chill bottles in large plastic tubs outside, unless you live in the South hemisphere, you will save fridge space
- Don’t forget soft drinks
- Send your invitations now.
And remember if you have an ingredient you would love to try out, but lack inspiration, use the comments box to ask me, see you next week
