I love the idea of a buffet, but we still
want elegance. How can we achieve that?
A buffet can be a wonderful experience for guests, because of the
variety it offers—people don’t have to choose between
the filet or the sea bass (they can sample both!). And a well-planned
buffet can certainly be just as elegant as a formal sit-down dinner.
One of our best buffet ideas is setting up food in smaller stations.
This means that guests can spread out, and move and mingle all across
the room. I love to offer passed hors d’oeuvres, which add
a layer of elegance to the whole affair.
As guests indulge in dishes at a pasta, chicken, or salad station,
they can also sample smaller treats like shrimp or sliced steak
as they’re passed around.
