The Cheese Plate is an easy appetizer to throw together and with some simple rules of thumb, you can create one that is delicious and varied. Cheese plates can be artful, with lots of room for improvisation.

Mains
Marinated and Grilled Mediterranean Leg of Lamb is super easy to grill and you can play around with different flavors with the marinades or dry rubs.

Amy’s Favorite Roast Chicken recipe is reliable and you can cook multiple chickens for a crowd.

Sides

Green Beans with Hazelnut Gremolata is a delicious way to dress up a traditional side.

Roasted Cauliflower and Hazelnut Salad The cauliflower soaks up flavors particularly effectively and benefits from anything sweet and sharp.

Desserts
Strawberry Balsamic Ice Cream has the addition of the balsamic vinegar which adds both complexity and some of the acidity lost from freezing the strawberries.

Bananas Foster Fondue uses bananas as the obvious dippers. But, you could also use a variety of pastries, fruit, or whatever strikes your fancy.

Classic Chocolate Mousse is both rich and creamy, yet light and fluffy.
This is a classic chocolate mousse made French style. It has less cream, an intense chocolate flavor, and a beautiful, creamy mouth feel.

Beverages

Hawaiian Ginger Ale Mocktail is an all-ages beverage that is refreshing and delicious. Carefully boiling fresh ginger in water for a good, long while is the key to rounded, deep flavor.
