Kris in Larchwood is hosting a graduation party and asked for ChefsLine help. Listen now as Chef JoAnna describes the essential touches needed to create festive and functional platters of cold cuts and cheese for a party.
Some additional important tips for Kris and other party platter host/hostess:
Pre-cut the rolls and keep them wrapped in in plastic until right before serving. Place in basket (or whatever) and cover with a clean towel or cloth napkins.
Purchase 1/3 pound of meats and cheese per person. For 40 young and hungry guests, a bit under 10 pounds of deli meats and a little over 3 pounds of cheese will do it! Purchase 3:1 meat to cheese.
