Hints and Tips for Hosting a Fabulous Holiday Party
HOLIDAY HINTS & TIPS TO MAKE ENTERTAINING A BREEZE
Inshell nuts are an elegant accompaniment to holiday cooking and entertaining. Here are a few fresh ways to entertain stylishly while giving a nod to holiday customs, courtesy of Diamond Foods and cookbook author and culinary producer, Tina Salter.
A. For a festive burst of color, set a candle in the center of a large glass vase or hurricane lamp and surround it with a mixture of inshell nuts, small citrus fruits and leaves. Or glue inshell nuts to a cardboard circle to form a border around a candle. For added elegance, paint some or all of the nuts gold and allow to dry.
B. All nuts taste better when roasted. The process is simple. Preheat the oven to 375°F and roast for about 20 minutes.
C. Add a festive look to a holiday wreath with gold painted inshell nuts.
D. For a bubbly cocktail party, create a nut cracking and dipping station. Surround a large bowl of inshell walnuts with tasting bowls of flavored olive oils and gourmet salts.
E. Finish off a holiday dinner party with a final course of port, Stilton or soft blue cheese and fresh toasted inshell walnuts. Guests will linger at the table to crack nuts, sip port and tell stories… an inviting end to an intimate soiree.
There you go…now you can host a terrific party without all of the worry!
Happy November!

Great tips I will have to try this for my Christmas party. Thanks for sharing
Great tips! I wish we could have an “adult” moment to entertain, but it seems like most of our dinners turn into chasing kids and trying to keep food from being thrown!
I love nuts, but I have to give my obligatory caution – LOTS of people are allergic to nuts, so be careful. These are great ideas for sure, just be careful. The centerpiece idea with inshell nuts is would look so cool, and probably be a pretty safe bet, just be careful. Did I mention to be careful? LOL!
