	Buffet If you are having a buffet, you need to make some initial decisions: Starters: While you can have a separate buffet starter, you'll often do better with canapes or finger food as a more exciting start to the event. Hot dishes: These have to keep warm for some time. Stew type dishes improve with cooking longer are are popular. Note also that a domestic kitchen may not be adequate for a large hot buffet. Knives: Unless everyone has a chair it is best to select food that does not need knives - just a fork, so you can eat while standing (even if you have to put your wine down!) Selection: it is best to provide a small number of dishes for a buffet - people will often take something of everything and too many items will just look a mess.
