Holiday Entertaining…Mix & Mingle
During the holidays I like to have a few go-to recipes, bottles of bubbly and wine, and some great cocktail ingredients on hand for a planned party, last-minute gathering or drop-in guests. Creating memories we can share and cherish with family and friends is the goal. Being prepared with a few simple go-to items will help eliminate the last minute stress.
Danielle Rollins’ book, Soirée: Entertaining with Style, is a favorite inspirational book for both recipes and decor. Veranda calls her “a genuine expert, a natural-born entertainer.” Her Radish Goat Cheese and Preserved Lemon Canapés are always a favorite and festive for holiday serving.

Tart shells can be made the day before and stored in a covered container at room temperature. To make chocolate filling, heat cream in a medium-sized pan over medium heat until just warm. Pour into a bowl with the chocolate and stir to melt. Add butter and stir, then add salt. Cool slightly, then fill baked tart shells.

Toast marshmallow cream with a kitchen torch or in the broiler.” ]
