[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the key is to provide enough food and to provide options, I would do more than one appetizer and more than one side dish. Something like the taco bar someone suggested is a good way to go. [/quote] What? No, this is the opposite of what I would suggest. OP should pick one main dish, one veggie side, and one starch. And practice the recipes twice beforehand. For the main, pick a braised or slow-cooked meat. VERY hard to mess that up. Braise short ribs, salad, crusty baguette, and you’re done. [/quote] I think that works if you're hosting people with similar preferences. I find that i'm balancing so many dietary preferences restrictions these days (picky kids, grownups who are low-carb, vegetarians, gluten free, religious restrictions for pork or beef) that braised short ribs would not work at all when I host. People just seem happier in general to choose their own stuff.[/quote]
