Tips & Tricks

To say "welcome" in a warm and enticing way, serve just-from-the-oven appetizers as your guests join you for dinner or a party.

An appetizer buffet offers the perfect place for guests to congregate and graze as they enjoy conversation and acquaintances. A few buffet table tips to try:

  • Serve a selection of hot and cold foods. Small deli-meat sandwiches, for example, pair well with oven-baked goodies.
  • Pay attention to food color to ensure a variety. Veggie pizza is always a hit and provides a colorful addition to the table.
  • Couple mellow tastes with spicy tastes for further diversity.
  • Remember condiments! Mayo, barbecue sauce, hot mustard and raspberry sauce are a few ideas.
  • Stage the buffet table using cloth-covered cake plates to provide varying heights for appetizer plates. As a focal point, add a tall vase of flowers, pine boughs or twigs of autumn leaves.
