[quote=Anonymous]I think the prospect of a formal dinner party intimidates people but just do the type of entertaining you are most comfortable with. Some people love the grill and do mostly summer entertaining. Lately, I l have been doing casual family type meals that you serve buffet style. People love coming to them because the vibe is relaxed and we tend to rotate these with our group of friends. When I first started hosting, I would literally make the same menu for different groups of friends until I got the hang of it. Learn to perfect a few dishes. Some things made the last few times: Mexican night (carne asada tacos, fish tacos, guacomole, pickled cabbage slaw, Mexican corn, rice and beans, homemade margaritas, churros with different dipping sauces) Moroccan night: Lamb Tagine (love this recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018513-lamb-tagine), herbed couscous, tomato and cucumber salad, warmed pita with eggplant dip, marinated olives, honey dipped haloumi bites, spiced mint tea juleps) Indian night: baked samosa, assorted pakoras, basmati rice, chicken korma, dal, chana masala, raitas, cucumber and tomato salad [/quote]
