Menu Plan 1:
The "Beef Wellington" can be prepared ahead and be
ready to put in the oven when your guests arrive. The potatoes can be cooked
while the "Beef Wellington" is baking. The appetizer, salad and dessert can be
prepared well in advance.
Menu Plan 2:
The cashew nut roast can be made up to a week in
advance and frozen. After baking, let it cool to room temperature and then
slice it into serving pieces. Place the slices onto a sheet pan, cover well and
freeze. On the day of your party, leave them on the sheet pan to defrost and
then place in the oven to warm. The soft rolls can be made well in advance and
refrigerated.The other dishes can also be made ahead and
re-heated.
Menu Plan 3:
The bruschetta, Caesar Salad and lasagna can be made
in advance (keep the lasagna warm.) Mix the dressing with the salad just before
serving. Also, assemble the strawberry shortcake just before
serving.
