Dinner Party Recipes,
with Menus

Carved Beef WellingtonDinner party recipes are rather hard to define. What makes a dinner party a dinner party?Pizza in the living room or barbecued chicken in the back yard could both be a dinner party, of sorts.

We could define them as "sit-down" dinners but sitting on the floor, the grass, or a bale of hay is still sitting down, but not really a dinner party.

So let's just classify them as "sit down around the dining table" parties, where the dinner party menus and recipes are kicked up, and where you'd never consider using plastic utensils. Even within those parameters you have lots of leeway in how casual or formal the occasion.
