How to: Tips for a Stress Free Dinner Party.

Are you planning a dinner party but feeling overwhelmed by the thought of all the preparation? Hosting a gathering doesn't have to be stressful. With some strategic planning and creative ideas, you can throw an unforgettable dinner party with ease.

  • First and foremost think about when planning your dinner party is to make life as easy as possible for yourself. When planning your menu, think about foods that can be cooked in advance or slow cooked throughout the day, eliminating the need for you to spend so much time in the kitchen and freeing yourself up to spend time with your guests.
  • Design your menu with convenience in mind by focusing on one-pot, serve-yourself meals. Simplify the process further by ensuring you have stylish cookware readily available, like the Smeg Deep Pan or Smeg Casserole, or the Asko Roasting dish – all both ideal examples of oven-to-table cookware. You can find the Smeg Deep Pan here and the Smeg Cookware Casserole here. The ASKO Roasting dish can be found here.
  • Opting for "serve-yourself" style dishes removes the need for individual plating, alleviating a potential source of stress for your evening. This allows you to focus your attention earlier in the day on setting a stunning table with beautiful tableware and glassware, setting the stage for a truly impressive atmosphere that will wow your guests.
  • Elevate a simple vegetable salad with the help of the ASKO Griddle plate. Achieve a professional presentation by griddling strips of courgette or eggplant, creating tantalizing grill marks on what would otherwise be simple vegetables. These visually appealing accents will enhance even the simplest roast vegetable salad.
  • Streamline dessert preparation by opting for affogato, an Italian delicacy featuring ice cream drenched in espresso, made effortlessly with the assistance of a Smeg Espresso Machine. For an extra touch of indulgence, accompany it with a shot of liqueur on the side, elevating the dish to new heights of decadence.
