I have to host some dinners soon... small groups... maybe 5-7, 10 at most. I'm on the hunt for fun things to make/serve.

Any suggestions? (Not necessarily recipes but those are welcome too. Bonus cool points if they're zap.cooking recipes)

Im gonna take a nap & check back later 😊

I like chips

Lasagna is always winning

That is a good one

Bon appetit!

If you can find a pig head and smoke it, That is a crowdpleaser.

You should have seen my relatives trying tongue, cheeks and eyeballs. We were rolling and challenging and laughing for a couple hours.

LUDO πŸ€™

These?

Arayes

Oh that looks amazing!

Clafoutis is a really easy nice dessert

As to a fun thing you could do gourmet or a hotpot making dinner a activity

Otherwise tho i recommend a stew like rendang or beef bourginon if the party doesnt like spice

And what if they do? πŸ‘€

Rendang was the spicy suggestion πŸ˜‚

Oh! I hadn't looked dit up yet πŸ˜…

The recipe you linked sounds good but it doesnt mention any amounts or i am overlooking

I'll follow yours 😁

Please tag if you end up making it 😁

I can't find laos here. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative? I was thinking maybe I could increase the other roots a bit?

Laos is often called galangal its like citrusy ginger so if replacing i whould use some ginger and maybe some lime zest

Thanks!

Fruit salads are always fun! You can also do a lot of different things with them to save on time!

Accompanied with a roasted or grilled protein. If you’re feeling heavy slicing up a tomahawk on wood never misses. Charcuterie compliments them both well, takes off pressure, and also dresses the tables beautifully. I think less is more with small groups. It leaves you more time to interact.

Oooh you could also set an instapot or slow cooker on the table β€” make a soup, chilli, or spiced ground meat in an IP. Chop and shred some veggies, cheeses, etc. and everyone can serve themselves around the table! I hope you all have funπŸ’ž
