[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, have cocktails at the ready.  Some sparkling wine, red wine, and do a cool homemade fruit juice to mix with liquor for those who want it (like rosemary lemonade or something simple but different).

Then have some nice cheeses, grapes (or figs if you can find them), good baguette, and/or spiced nuts and/olives ready to put out.

Definitely a big green spring salad to go with or end the lunch.  I love a bed of micro greens, shaved fennel, orange slices, and chopped hazelnuts with an orange olive oil dressing.  (All the chopping/slicing can be done ahead and just dress right before serving.)

Roasted fingerling potatoes that you can have all ready for the oven the day before (add rosemary or other herbs) and ideally find some purple potatoes to go with the yellow ones.

Roasted asparagus with lemon and maybe some parm.

And then a meat.  I don't cook much lamb but feel like a roasted leg of lamb with lots of garlic and a herb to match the potatoes would be easy to get ready ahead of time and carve at the table.[/quote]

If it's lunch, I think even a ham would be great.

I also think some really nice quiches, with a fancy green salad would be good (like the above mentioned). You could still have the baguettes, cheeses, etc. out beforehand.[/quote]
