At Progresso Foods, any and every day is an occasion to savor friendships and entertain with quality ingredients, mouth-watering recipes and delicious wines. Entertain and experience the Taste of the Good Life with us.
There are a few party planning basics that will help you execute a stress-free event. Pre-planning may ensure that you will enjoy the event as much as your guests, possibly more.
First, pick a theme. Next, set the date and select an invitation from our e-vites. Now, create your menu and shopping list. Once your guests have given you their RSVP, begin your plan for setting the table – determine how many place settings you will need, what type of dishes will work best, and decide if it will be a sit-down or buffet style. Next, choose your wines by using our wine suggestions and finally, anticipate the date and countdown to hosting.
Creating your menu is easy. You can choose from Progresso Foods recipes or Chef Michael Chirarello signature dishes. We’ll even assist you with everything you need to have stocked in your party pantry—for effortless entertaining or when you get a surprise guest or group. Be sure to select recipes that make sense for the number of guests and the style of the party you desire; this will help you stay mindful of all the other party details.
Shopping for your party will be an effortless task when you make a list of items to purchase. Some ingredients may be seasonal so be sure to choose selections that are readily available. If you need a certain cut of meat, give your grocer's meat counter a phone call to let them know your preferences and pre-order.
What you place on your table or buffet will impact and influence the type of event you are hosting. Linens, centerpieces, flowers, lighting, place cards, china or dinnerware, serving pieces – barware and silverware should all be considered when setting the table.
Now, pour yourself a lovely glass of wine or your favorite beverage and dream about hosting your next party.
