ppealing as it ONCE WS. °

: Welcoming the. new year can be
a lot more’ fun — and'a lot cheaper

 =— celebrated’ at'a potluck or. coop":

‘erative house. party. .
“For nany, cooking i in quantity | is
new experience. It can be a night-:
mare if you let it get to you!’

‘First; what.do-you serve? How «-

: much. of. it? How do’ you store it

Safely? What do you serve it on?

‘Lots: of questions. Let's look at

The averag ‘house party ¢ comes. ve

n'24,°36 or 50. After’ that, you ne
probably need a hall! :

: The easiest dessert is one you
‘buy. “The easiest to serve is one that
comes already portioned, such as
pastries, tarts or cookies. ~

‘The easiest of these are the kind
you. don't need plates and cutlery
for. Cookies and firm squares, pre-
“cut, fall into this category.

If you are buying, no problem. If:

ve you are: baking, here are a few tips |

0 follow:

Squares are generally’ cut 2". X
"1-1/2". You should be able to cut
24 from a nine-inch pan. Allow two

per person, .

Sheet cakes ‘are generally baked
“13".X 9". You'll get 12 2 pieces from
each cake. Allow, one piece per per-
son. - :

“Pies are either. eight or nine

' inches. You can get six pieces from
“an eight-inch fruit pie, eight from a

nine-inch. You can get a couple
more from. very-rich pies such as
“chocolate or cheesecake.

Everyone needs a guide for |

“basics such as coffee, creamers,

breads and accompaniments. Here's
a quick reference table.

Bread: 4 regular loaves (2 slices
. per person)
~ 2 dozen rolls’

3 prepared garlic loaves (3

“wedges per loaf)

. refills

Butter: to pre-butter rolls or
served in one-inch pats — 1/2 lb.

Ketchup: 1! 20-oz. bottle

Pickles: | litre

Coffee: 1 300 g. tin will allow

- Teas 24 bags allow 2 cups per

. person. Have at least that many due

to brewing fresh pots. Tea is hard to:
keep hot so many use instant tea —.
one 5.02. jar,

Cream/milk: If serving both tea
-and coffee, homo milk will do for

_ both. 1 litre will be enough for up

‘to 36 peopie.
“Meats:
~ Cold cuts: 6 Ib.

~~ If you're planning a hot dish
such as chili (deadly dull!), it’s easy

to triple an cight-serving recipe. For

, pasta dishes such as macaroni

casseroles, your basic recipe should

‘contain three 16-ounce packages of

dry pasta.

For rice, as an accompaniment
with-a sauced dish such as curry,
allow 2/3 cup per serving — 16
cups cooked. However, if you're
going to cut it that carefully, better
have someone ladle out the serv-
_ings. mo
Make extra — it's cheap!
