1 - Italian Dinner Party
Rated 5.0 out of 5 by 3 readers
Can I tempt you with a multi course dinner menu that won't stress you out? This is a really simple Italian-ish dinner party menu where so much can be made ahead of time to lower stress levels. There's whitebait with chilli; Veal Ragu and Pasta; Burrata, Tomato and Roasted Beetroot salad; Pea and Feta salad and Marmalade Pudding!
2 - Texan Beef Brisket BBQ
This Texan beef brisket BBQ combines a wonderful low and slow cooked beef brisket and all of the fantastic sides to go along with it too! Best of all it's an outdoor party!
3 - Healthy Afternoon Tea
Not all entertaining opportunities are lunch or dinner. There's that other delicious meal: afternoon tea! This is also a healthy afternoon tea (because life is all about balance).
4 - Forensic Eating Dinner Party
If you like to think of yourself as a bit of a foodie let me put to you this idea of a "Forensic Eating" dinner party. Each person brings a dish and the other people have to guess what it is and what is in it! Test your food knowledge and that of your friends!
5 - $5 A Head Dinner Party
During the GFC a few years ago we decided to throw a dinner party that would challenge us and cost us $5 per head. It was a fun challenge because not only did we come up with a tasty three course meal, the clothing was also thrifted! It was a really fun challenge and had us searching for bargains and coming up with tasty but inexpensive dishes.
So tell me Dear Reader what is your favourite type of entertaining?
