Successful Holiday Entertaining

Successful holiday entertaining doesn’t mean you need to be stuck in the kitchen while your guests are having all the fun. 

Here are few tips, for a fun holiday party that everyone can enjoy!

Make as many dishes as you can the day before your party.

Keep the number of recipes that involve last-minute preparation to a minimum.

Avoid recipes that must be cooked at different oven temperatures.

Don't experiment, make recipes that are tried and true.

Think about contrasting colors and taste of the food. 

Avoid repeating flavors, each dish should stand out on its own.

Consider the presentation, and make a list the day before the party, of every item you will need to serve up the food.

Planning The Details

The weather outside is hardly ever frightful.  Most of the time it’s very delightful. But despite the relative unchanging weather in Southern California, the calendar unbelievably points toward the upcoming Holiday Season.

Have you been thinking about throwing that perfect Christmas cocktail party, holiday office party, or an elegant sit-down dinner?  

It doesn’t matter if you're planning to do the work yourself, or hiring a professional caterer/party planner; if you want your event to be successful, you must begin planning the details... ASAP! 

With all the gatherings that will be happening at homes and businesses this holiday season, one major party planning detail that is often times missed, is the proper handling and disposing of Trash! 

It’s best to plan for the trash in advance, then having to spring into action when the first guest questions what to do with his plate full of garbage. (Hopefully he’s not talking about your food…) 

Planning in advance is the key to the success of any party or event!
