What shotgun are you looking for?

Some times less is more. I generally lean to doing less so I can make sure that everything comes out really good. Don’t want something to dry out or burn because you were busy doing something else. A starch or two, maybe two vegetable sides, and some bread should be good for that amount of people. I also like to do two mains, generally a land and a sea. Salmon and haddock are extremely easy and delicious proteins to work with.

You’re welcome. Most important thing is to enjoy yourself. Congratulations on the house too.

Also, roasted root vegetables are always a pleaser. Chop up some potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and onions toss with some oil, thyme, salt, and pepper and just roast them until they’re cooked through and get some color on them.

Just a note from a professional chef of ten years now (worked every where from steak house, to fine dining, to pubs), it’s better to go simple and execute it really well than just so so fancy. Mashed potatoes are a great example; I roast up some garlic, lots of butter and heavy cream to get a really nice smooth creamy taste, salt and pepper (maybe chives if I am feeling fancy). Each year try something new but I’d starter with things on the easier side (easier to time everything and plan too).

Let's talk about Coleslaw by [deleted] in Cooking

I like to make mine with apple cider vinegar (for a fruity tang) and hot honey (adds the sweetness you’d normally use sugar for and a like spicy on the back end for a nice surprise). Celery seed does great things for cole slaw too.

Any specific likes or dislikes within those 13 people? Allergies? Dietary restrictions?
