First, set yourself up for success by preparing as much as you can ahead of time.
This is our saving grace when we entertain. We almost never make something for guests that needs to be cooked à la minute. Not because we think we can’t do it, but because it saves us a little stress and allows us to enjoy our company more. We have been known to take this principle to the extreme—washing and drying salad greens and having them ready to go in a salad bowl in the fridge, for example. It’s just extra peace of mind and one less thing to have to do once guests arrive.
