Craving good food and good company? It's easy and fun to host gourmet dinner parties. All you need is a group of friends, a well-planned menu, and a little creativity. |
Use these tips as a guide to creating a successful dinner club:
Organize a group Is it a group of professional singles that want to network and meet new people? Are you looking for a great way to meet other couples in your neighborhood? Or do you want to surround yourself with friends and family? After you've focused on a goal, call everyone you know who shares your passion for cooking, eating, and socializing.
Create the rules Our rules for a gourmet dinner club
Dream up themes Celebrate international cuisine by experimenting with new recipes focused around a central idea. For example, create a memorable evening on safari to South Africa or on the beach with a poolside party.
Plan the menus Ask group members to contribute their favorite recipes and divvy up the cooking responsibilities. For inspiration, purchase a cookbook that has recipes from around the world or search our recipes.
Be prepared If you can't seat attending members comfortably at a table, set up smaller folding tables or consider a buffet-style meal. Reduce costs by creating an equipment lending list that contains essential items that members are willing to share.
