Delegating these recipes to your friends or family and then setting everything up on a table with crock-pots or warming plates can help this dinner serve-itself all-night-long.  I’ve found that one of the hardest parts about having a dinner party is the fact that you are running around your own house getting all of the food prepared and served and not getting to spend time with friends.  Not to mention, you’re exhausted from cooking, before your friends even arrive!  With this menu, you need 4-5 cooks to complete the dinner.
