Lavish buffets were the order of the day in the 1920s and buffet food is brilliant because so much of it can be prepared well in advance of your guests’ arrival. Planning and preparing ahead is key to making sure everyone is fed and watered, and that they also get to spend some time with you. It’s certainly nice to offer your guests delicious food and drinks, but you shouldn’t let it be your only task for the evening.
There’s nothing worse than coming to a party and not getting to see the host for the duration because they’re slaving away in the kitchen.
