By

Fall is the perfect season for gathering with friends and family, reminiscing over fond memories, and sharing delicious meals. If you love celebrating the season of abundance with an autumn dinner party, you know how rewarding these cherished gatherings are. Life is busy, so it’s important to take the time to slow down and celebrate the changing seasons.

Hosting a memorable fall dinner party starts with the right seasonal and manageable menu. When preparing a meal for multiple guests, choosing dishes that pair well together and are easy to cook simultaneously is the key to a relaxing, cozy gathering. If you’re ready to host a fall dinner party, check out these tips and ideas for crafting the perfect menu.

 Start with Wholesome Ingredients

There’s a reason the cornucopia is a symbol of fall: harvest season is all about celebrating the joy of farm-fresh, wholesome ingredients! For a fall dinner party that pays homage to harvest season, start with ethically raised grass fed meats and organic produce.

Not only will choosing ethically sourced ingredients help you create delicious and nutritious courses, but it will also prompt you to choose ingredients that are in-season and fresh. By starting with high-quality ingredients, you can curate a menu that is seasonally inspired and delicious.

Appetizer: Charcuterie

Laying out a cheese plate is a great way to set a relaxed and elegant tone for your dinner party. As guests arrive, they can help themselves to an array of snacks, mingle, and settle in. This gives you plenty of time to finish up any last-minute touches in the kitchen without pressure while keeping your guests from feeling famished before dinner.

To give the classic charcuterie board a fall twist, sprinkle in an assortment of pecans, walnuts, and dried cranberries. For an elegant finishing touch, decorate your spread with fall-themed decor, such as small pumpkins, vibrant leaves, or scented pinecones.

First Course: Butternut Squash Soup

The most important parts of any dinner party are great company and conversation, so feel free to keep things simple with a few easy courses. A butternut squash soup infused with fresh sage is a delicious and perfectly seasonal first course.

Whether you plate each individual serving of soup with a fresh sage garnish or opt for a casual layout and invite guests to serve themselves, this warm, delicious dish is sure to wow your friends and family.

 Entrée: Braised Brisket

A slow-cooked, spiced brisket served with apples and cranberries is the perfect main course for any fall dinner party. Enhance the savory flavor of tender, juicy brisket with cinnamon, boiled apples, and dried cranberries for an entrée that captures the cozy feeling of fall.

Be sure to order your grass fed beef online from a trusted regenerative farm. Using high-quality meat will ensure that your brisket has a robust flavor and great texture. This hearty, aromatic dish is sure to inspire great conversations and cherished memories.

With high-quality ingredients and a seasonally-inspired menu, your guests look forward to your fall dinner parties for years to come.
