We like to prepare some light bites for people to nibble on while they’re waiting for the main event. It builds anticipation and gets those juices flowing ― not to mention that it takes the pressure off if you’re running behind schedule! And sitting down to a cup or bowl of steaming soup is the perfect way to hunker down and get comfortable for the rest of the meal.
