The 1-hour Prep Dinner Party

A cozy trellis of climbing vines and flowers, some lovely crystal goblets and candles, gorgeous flea market finds and freshly picked flowers from around the garden, is all you need for an instant and elegant dinner party. Serve a few simple courses, starting with a steaming mussel stew, followed by a refreshing pear and blue cheese salad, completing your dinner with a simple country-roasted chicken and finish off with an easy favorite, strawberries with streusel topping.

In one hour, you can put together a dinner party that will wow your guests, pick a simple menu and serve everything hot and straight out of the kitchen. Set your table with white linens, white flower-patterned plates. At the last minute, play some music, scatter some freshly picked flowers and light your candles as the sun goes down and the mood turns romantic.
