Preparation:

Prepare six to ten varieties of hot and cold appetizers in sufficient quantities to serve each guest two or three servings of each. Try Kitchen Antipasto Party, Tangy Tapenade with Crumbled Feta, and Fun-Filled Fruit as cold dishes and Asparagus Gremelata, Crab and Shrimp Cakes, and Stuffed Mushrooms as hot dishes.

Helpful hints:

In these times of casual entertaining, hors d’oeuvres very often are the dinner party. Remember to keep it simple and lay out plenty of Dare Crackers.
