Getting together with friends at the end of the day to share a meal you've cooked together is one of the great joys of life, and it shouldn't be a stressful experience. But, you might be hesitant to invite people over for dinner for many reasons. What should you cook? How should you serve it? What should you ask people to bring? What if you have dietary restrictions, or not much money, or no space for a dining table?
Or, what if you want to throw an extra fancy dinner party for a holiday or a special occasion? How much time will it take to prepare? What special touches will make it really memorable? And how the heck do you accomodate your vegan, omnivore and gluten-free friends at the same meal?
In this workshop we will go over some rules of thumb for planning and cooking a meal for a large group, and some tricks for how to make it a calm, rewarding and fun experience for you and your guests. We'll share ideas for sample menus, finding recipes, tricks for making a really affordable big meal, and how to set expectations for yourself and your guests. Anyone can host a dinner party!
$10 fee per person, to cover the cost of food; catered dinner included. Limited enrollment, please register here: https://goo.gl/forms/MDWCxaViVScho9ik1
About me: I am not a professional cook, but I throw a lot of dinners large and small. I love cooking for & with friends (even when things go wrong!) and believe that sharing a special meal is one of the most fun things we can do together.
