Cooking for a crowd is one of my favorite things to do! I love sitting down to a meal with a table full of people. We are lucky enough to have a large dining room with a table that seats ten comfortably and even more if we utilize the 2 huge leaves.
I'm a self-taught cook and have done a lot of trial and error over the years. Growing up I could burn uncooked rice, sad but true. Moving out on my own was one of the hardest things I had to do but one of the best challenges I ever faced. That's why I decided to make this list because I'm sure many of you could use a few handy tools in the kitchen too.
My Top 5 Kitchen Must Haves for Entertaining
A few of my kitchen must-haves include:
1. The Joy of Cooking – This cookbook teaches you everything you need to know when it comes to cooking, including detailed instructions. You can grab a previously loved copy on ThriftBooks for around $5!
2. 3 Tiered Baking Rack – I don't know about you but when I use my roaster my oven space is almost non-existent, enter the tiered oven rack!
3. Silicone Whisk – from batter to eggs and even gravy these are must-have kitchen tools they stand up to high heat and can also be used for simple tasks like beating eggs.
4. Cloth Napkins – I love Etsy for personalized touches around the house! These adorable cloth napkin sets are great for cutting down on waste and making your guests feel a little fancy.
5. Cute Apron – nothing says cute like a fun apron! With a cute apron, especially if you can find a style that is unique to you and so cute you might want to wear it all the time.
Most importantly don't forget to have fun, enjoy the company, and put a little love into what you're cooking. And don't forget a glass of wine! I love the California Wine Club you can choose a monthly subscription or choose from a variety of gifts.
