The age old saying is that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. However, when it comes to planning an event, great food is the way to any guest’s heart.  Whipping up mouth-watering delicacies doesn’t have to include eight syllable ingredients nor the possibility that firefighters will be visiting your house (unless it’s a bachelorette party).

Your gourmet chef next door neighbor is bound to be rendered speechless. Your friends will be talking about your party for ages to come and your sweetheart will be begging you to give his mother the recipe.  For your next party, trade the caterer for the easy dishes below.

Frog’s Legs

One of the most well known delicacies in French cuisine, these are quite easy to make. Though they might taste like chicken, since these aren’t a common dish in American households, your guests will be dazzled by your worldliness and knowledge of foreign cuisine.

These can be prepared in a number of ways with different sauces.

Oysters

Commonly thought to be an aphrodisiac, oysters make great appetizers and don’t take long to prepare. Although their aphrodisiac effect is not scientifically proven, your guests’ taste buds will certainly be stimulated. (Hint: If you want to play matchmaker at your next dinner party, tell the couple in question it’s an aphrodisiac and get their imagination flowing).
