Tip of the Week

Look here each Monday for a new tip to make entertaining a snap!

Let the Food Work for You

If you are entertaining and pressured for time, buy fresh food. Fresh food simply cooked or prepared can make just as good an impression as a more complicated dinner. 

A few excellent examples would be fresh melon wrapped with prosciutto; grilled fresh meat or fish; a bowl of fresh berries topped with freshly whipped cream; or roasted fresh asparagus with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Thanks to Mark Beecham for this week's entertaining tip.
