We will show you how to hold an interesting, delicious and unforgettable party by consulting professional hosts, eating in the top dinner club of new york University (n.y.c) and holding our own party, without any conceit or fear.
Invite guests like you to the breakfast club instead of friends.
I asked tamsin lonsdale, the founder of "Dinner Club" (the annual membership fee is as high as 10 USD), how she got the guests out of their social convention.
She said, "When you sit next to people who are not close at ordinary times, there will also be unprecedented conversations."
"Our suggestion is that no one should know everyone at the table. But make sure everyone knows at least one person. "
Dinner should create unprecedented social vitality.
Tell your guests not to bring anything.
If you think the guests' help will help you more, remember: find out where to hide everyone's plates and bowls and how to serve them, otherwise it will be more work.
Party days should be used to deal with emergencies (emergencies will also happen).
Coffee table: snacks bought in high-end stores-cheese, olives and biscuits.
On a table in the corner: a bottle of wine has been opened, and there is a cork and a wine glass.
On the other table: a prepared cocktail.
Keep the menu simple, a salad that can be seasoned immediately before serving, and a main course that is cooked slowly without extra effort, such as spiced pork shoulder.
Your place will smell great. When people come in slowly, make sure you are with them, not in the kitchen.
After the guests arrive, the only thing you have to do is to load the plate.
After two main courses at the new york Spring Street social gathering, a man sitting next to me stood in a chair and knocked on his cup rudely. Then he started dancing.
Don't do this!
But do another dramatic thing: propose a toast.
Keep it short, simple and slightly emotional.
"Respect for old friends and new friends" is enough. The banquet should be an unforgettable activity. Everyone will remember the toast moment.
Dinner is really only 20 minutes-it's unbelievable considering how much preparation has been made in the early stage. But the party has introduced a new dynamic, which will take an hour to complete. It is best to put the plates in their original places, and it is suggested to move them to the living room.
Rich desserts are a must, and the most exciting thing is expensive chocolate. You can also prepare fruit bowls.
One of the pleasures is stumbling out of the bedroom in the morning and looking at the people in line. The scarier you look, the more successful your dinner will be. Then, when everything is in order, leave home for brunch.
You need three kinds of menus: food, drink and music.
Before the guests arrive, put the large glass, ice cubes, soda water and orange slices together and decorate them.
Pale red like Gamay will impress wine lovers and novices.
Always prepare a case of beer.
Rub a four-pound pig's shoulder with salt, pepper, smoked red pepper and some fennel seeds. Put some chopped garlic and a glass of water in the pot, cover it with tin foil and bake for 3 to 4 hours.
Be sure to buy good bread. Heat it in the oven and sprinkle salt on the butter.
Before eating, make a big bowl of vegetables with oil vinegar (lemon and olive oil).
At the beginning of the evening, you will want something optimistic, but it is certainly not rude. Think of Charles Bradley, Angel Olson, Janet Jackson.
Observe crowd preferences. When the situation changes, adjust the playlist accordingly.
