How to Host a Fabulous Party!!!

General Party Tips

 

·Please remember when making your own food to place in Ziti sized pans or they will not fit in the water trays

 

·       When appetizers or food needs to be heated please make sure temperatures and times are close to each other and that you leave enough time to heat them.  Keep in mind how many ovens you have and how long it will take to heat food

 

·       When bringing in home cooked food, make sure it arrives hot.  Sterno’s do not heat food it only keeps it warm.  

If you plan on heating at venue make sure you have enough ovens and that temperatures needed to cook different foods are the same

 

· Keep the number of entrees to four to five.  More than that is way too many choices.  People will try a little of everything,  quantity over choice is best
