Throwing a dinner party can be a lot of fun. Bonding with family and friends in the comfort of your own home is incomparable. However, it can get stressful if you’re not used to planning the food menu for parties. You want to impress your guests but you also don’t want to overshoot and underdeliver. Here are some ideas for impressive-looking dishes that are actually quite easy to pull off.
- With its visual impact, a paella looks like it took all day to get done but it actually only takes thirty or so minutes. Plus, everything cooks together in one pan, meaning you’ll have less cookware to wash after the party.
- You can’t go wrong with steak. Sometimes keeping things simple is the best way to throw a party. Pair the steaks with a tasty sauce and good wine, and your guests will be more than glad.
- A roast chicken is a staple in dinner parties. This makes the food menu instantly complete, and it’s really easy to do. Guests of all ages will like it.
- If you’re not totally sure what your guests prefer, consider serving ratatouille. It is vegan and gluten free, and tastes wonderful too. There are some easy recipes for one-pan ratatouille.
- Using a slow cooking can be a life saver. Put everything together and let it cook, and you’ll have time to make dessert and enjoy the company of your guests.
Planning a delicious food menu doesn’t have to be a big headache. Keep things simple, and consider your guests’ preferences. A well-executed food menu plus great company will ensure you have a memorable dinner party.
