[quote=Anonymous]Don't plan a meal that will leave your guests sitting in a room by themselves while you are off cooking. It should be mostly hands-off, or allow you to socialize while cooking. Category 1: Grilling is good if you can hang all hang out together on the deck/yard while you grill. Have sides all prepped ahead and ready to serve. Grilled burgers with coleslaw, grilled steaks with potato salad, grilled salmon with cold asparagus salad. Great for summer! Category 2: Fix ahead, and let it sit in the oven until you're ready to eat. Roast chicken with roasted root vegetables, beef stew over mashed potatoes, chili over baked potatoes with a side of roasted broccoli. Better for fall/winter or early spring. Category 3: fix the elements ahead, and have the final preparation a group event. Make your own pizzas, fondue, taco bar. Great for a very informal/casual gathering, especially if there are a variety of tastes and food restrictions to consider.[/quote]
