My sister and I are hosting a dinner party for our Mum turning 60 in August, catering for only around 22 people as she didnt want a big thing! Looking at doing a proper 3 course dinner, perhaps entrees served on platters handed around rather than a sit done meal. For a main planning on doing a roast sirlon, arranging in a stack like formation ideas appreciated. And for dessert would like to make individual desserts, and ideas greatly appreciated. Cheers

Or a surf and turf style stack with king prawns on top and a blue cheese sauce , or have the meat on a roasted portobello mushroom. With a cracked pepper sauce

meringues for desert - make them small if you want to hand then around -shape so they hold some whipped cream and a berry or two

For dessert break meringues into pieces and put in a wine glass, add a layer of fruit, 1 nip of Baileys and top with cream and grated chocolate Ohhhhhhhh yummy

Nothing more annoying than food stacked up - all the juices run into everything else, it is hard to cut without squashing everything.Makes it look like there is hardly anything on the plate

Think it should be sit-down. You can't expect people to eat off their lap (you know what i mean!)

I've been making yummy veggie stacks and you could par roast the veggies!Kumura on Bottom, eggplant, mushroom, red pepper and to top it with Halloumi cheese .I season the veggies + garlic with mushrooms.
Very easy just a little bit of time putting it all together.

Yum leebee35 sounds great.Just to clarify only the starters are going to be on platters, the rest of it will be a sit down meal.Keep the ideas coming guys
