Vietri Belezza Pitcher

I love helping people learn how to entertain and throw gorgeous parties. The biggest key is to serve food that can be partially (or completely) made ahead of time, and to stick to whats within your comfort level. Dont try to make a meal that you're not comfortable making, and don't make something you've never done before, that's a recipe for disaster! Pictured here is a gorgeous Vietri Pitcher perfect for decorating or serving up sangria!

Vietri Belezza Casserole

Vietri has an amazing line of oven to table serveware that is perfect for casual or more formal entertaining. Think: baked mac n' cheese finished with truffle oil (yum!) In my opinion, the easiest way to start a dinner party is with a great salad. You can make most of it ahead of time, and you don't even have to think about keeping it hot while your guests are enjoying their cocktails.

Vietri Incanto Aqua Serving Bowl

Here's a great recipe for roasted tomato vinaigrette salad with goat cheese crostini. It sounds complicated, but it really couldn't be any easier!

Vinaigrette:
1 Pint cherry tomatoes
1 garlic clove peeled and crushed
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 cup olive oil + 2 tbs
3 tbs basil, chopped

Preheat oven to 375
On a sheet tray, coat tomatoes and garlic in 2 tbs olive oil, and roast for 20 minutes, or until they start to blister and fall apart. Transfer tomatoes and garlic to your blender, and blend with the vinegar and sugar. As the blender is running, add 1 cup olive oil. At the very end, add the basil and pulse once or twice to combine.

Crostini:
1/2 Baguette, sliced thinly
1/2 C Room temperature goat cheese
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 375
Arrange the baguette slices on a sheet tray so that none of them are touching. Drizzle with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

To compose the salad, place field greens in your salad bowl, and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Spread each crostini with a bit of room temperature goat cheese and arrange over the top of the salad greens. Enjoy!
