Our country is notable for its hospitality. Therefore, coming to visit a birthday, New Year or some other holiday, you can safely count on the fact that the tables will break from the abundance of salads, snacks and hot. However, there are situations when such a menu does not look very appropriate. For example, when you need to organize an evening for business colleagues or an exit buffet reception for guests invited to the wedding. The bride and groom, with appetite eating salads from plastic plates in front of the monument, will look, at least, strange. Instead of preparing hot dishes and soups, you should look for recipes for cold appetizers for a buffet table and offer guests delicious sandwiches and elegant canapes.
