It's my birthday the Saturday before Christmas and I'm having around 12 people over for drinks and food in the evening. 2 are pescetarians.
As it's my actual birthday and I'd like to go out for some of the day I don't want to be doing loads on the day but DS is in nursery all day the day before so I will spend that day doing things.
I want to do some warm food and I've always wanted to do a cheese fondue so I've provisionally come up with the following.
Crisps, cashews and pistachios
Cheese fondue with cubed sourdough for dunking
Nigellas ham in coke
Vegetable tart or quiche
Spanish omelette
Tempura prawns with sweet chilli dipping sauce - will be bought
Samosas/bhajis - will be bought
Spring rolls - will be bought
Cheeseboard and biscuits
Homemade pickles
French bread and salted butter
What do we think? Tried to come up with things that can mostly be done in advance and then I'll just have to cook the party food, heat the fondue on the stove and warm the tart when people arrive?
Is this enough? Too much?
I don't want people to need knifes and forks and to have to sit down but just graze and chat really?
Thanks!
