The buffet table is increasingly appearing on holidays. The hostesses appreciated all its advantages - free space, light snacks, easy communication, not tied to a neighbor at the table, and others. Preparing a buffet for your friends is not difficult, and sometimes exciting.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a room. It should be fairly spacious. The table should be placed in one of the corners, the center should be left unoccupied, and chairs or neat sofas should be placed along the walls. Leave the space around the table so that guests can easily move around it. Do not try to accommodate the maximum number of chairs - the buffet table assumes that everyone will communicate, basically, standing, moving from one company to another.
Step 2
Set the table. This is the main element of the buffet table. It should be located to the side, not occupying the main part of the room, as is customary for ordinary feasts. First of all, pay attention to the fact that the dishes should be on one edge. Place glasses, wine glasses and glasses in even rows. Place the devices next to each other, wrapping them in a cloth. Use plates no more than fifteen centimeters in diameter.
Step 3
Prepare treats. The buffet table provides, for the most part, a variety of options for appetizers. Feel free to cook a variety of canapes, small sandwiches, cheese and cold cuts. Hot dishes also often appear at buffets, but their presentation must be carefully thought out. Make sure to portion them and place them on large plates - your guests don't have to worry about how to cut off a slice of beef or duck for themselves. Drinks are best placed on a separate table.
Step 4
If you are arranging a large event in the style of a buffet table (for example, a wedding), you will have to slightly change the conditions. Organize one large table to the side, while there should be many round ones with dishes and utensils for guests around the room. In this case, people will come up for treats, and then sit down in the place allotted to them. It is advisable to serve the drinks to the waiters.
