They help add a bit of flair!
A s much as you fear becoming more like your parents, one thing is bound to happen — organizing your very own dinner party. Unless you throw all of those responsibilities to a trusted restaurant, money-wise, you’ll most likely end up going with the former. This can be daunting when you’re always the one who stands by the side and waits for dinner to be served. But if you combine all your observations from the many times you were invited to one, a memorable shindig always consists of three things. Good food, music, and ambiance — complemented by a few of these things.

The Entree
Trust us, you’ll want a cheese board to pacify the guests when the food’s not ready yet. It’s the easiest dish you can ever make with minimal cooking skills for all you need to do is deck out the different kinds of cheese. Your guest won’t have an inkling, not with those proper cheese knives on display. But best for the host to know what’s for what, after all, you’ll still have to serve.
The Food
If you’re not having a potluck dinner, you might need an extra pair of hands. More precisely, De’Longhi’s Multifry Extra Chef Multicoker to come to your rescue. With this, the possibilities are endless, think pizzas, meat filets, risotto, stews, and even cake! That’s appetizer, main, and dessert all covered. Oh, this bad boy features rapid cooking as well, meaning you’ll be able to finish everything in time.
The Dessert
Dinner parties sans dessert will just be one not worth reminiscing about. It’s rude to not satiate your guests’ other stomachs, which could easily be done with a few sweet pastries. Macarons, tarts, tiny cakes, cookies, perhaps even fruits. Don’t assume this task to be a difficult one. The trick is to get them from the store and place them nicely on a cupcake stand. No one will suspect.
The Helper
Come to think of it, Filipino dishes do involve quite a bit of arm work. The paella needs mixing, bibingka needs beating, and spaghetti requires much tossing. Now, scale that 100 times bigger since you’re cooking for a big bunch. Intimidating, isn’t it? Well, it won’t be if you have the KITCHENAID 5QT Artisan Mixer on hand. It does all the heavy work for you, professionally.
The Decor
You’d want your dinner party extra special, so don’t be afraid to add a bit of flair. Nothing screams highbrow quite like the ornamental beauty of TABLESCAPESMNL’s matching dinnerware set in burgundy. Make sure to surround the table with elements of gold to bring out the gilded specs from the plates. Finish off with some dimmed lights and elegant music and be ready to be the talk of the town.
