The Scene

The Details
We’ve thought of everything so that you don’t have to. Incorporate all of our details or even just a few to make your party fun, memorable, and special.
Spinach and Feta Phyllo Cups
Presenting an hor d'oeuvre in a phyllo cup is always an impactful touch.
Boursin and Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
A beautiful but easy three-ingredient appetizer.
Crab Cake Bites
To make the miniature apps, you'll need a mini muffin pan. Each serving has a crunchy crust made with panko, butter and Parmesan.
Truffled Corn Soup
One little upgrade transforms this recipe from a simple soup to one that’s dinner party worthy. And that one little ingredient is truffle salt.
Green Salad with Radishes and Manchego
The manchego adds interest and depth to an otherwise traditional salad.
Roast Spatchcocked Lemon Chicken
The technique of spatchcocking requires splitting and flattening the chicken. It exposes more skin, which really crisps up at high temperatures.
Simple Poached Salmon
A clean-tasting and light fish option to serve, but don't cook for too long!
Creamy Gnocchi with Garlic and Kale
Soft fluffy pillows of gnocchi & tender, sautéed kale, tossed in a creamy and vegan garlic-infused sauce.
Peppercorn-Crusted Beef Tenderloin
Only four ingredients, green peppercorns, olive oil, salt and a trimmed and tied whole beef tenderloin.
Parker House Rolls
With a top coat of melted butter and a sprinkling of sea salt, these golden brown Parker House rolls are nothing short of trophy-worthy.
Herbed Compound Butter
A show-stopping butter to serve with the rolls but its complexity will pair well with any of the mains you choose.
Roasted Red Potatoes
This roasted red potato recipe takes 5 minutes to prep and about 30 minutes of hands-off time to roast.
Oven-Roasted Asparagus
All you need is olive oil, salt and pepper, and a preheated oven. And the asparagus becomes meltingly soft.
Chocolate Pots de Crème
An indulgent dessert, that’s simple to prepare and will knock your guest's socks off.
Bourbon Old Fashioned
You can also try making the cocktail with rye whiskey, which results in a slightly spicier drink.
Classic Dry Martini
The classic martini recipe is fairly simple—just gin, vermouth, and an olive.
Great Wine and Food Pairings
Fifteen time-tested guidelines to help you go through life as an educated lover of food and wine.
