wine tasting cocktail party
Tish
09/15/14 		I am having a wine tasting cocktail party for 30 people. The foods will complement the wines. I am having a large antipasti tray, filet mignon thinly sliced with crostini and sauce, pork tenderloin, 5 lbs roasted shrimp mini cheesesteak spring rolls, mini quiche, mini crabcakes and an imported cheese tray. How much of the individual apps do I need.

It depends on both what time the party starts and how long it lasts. You need to write back with mare details, also to tell me what is: "5 lbs roasted shrimp mini cheesesteak spring rolls, "

I would definitely have a fruit tray with dried figs and apricots, maybe dates, and some melon with this lovely menu.

09/16/14 		the party will start at 6pm. The food will be out for about 2 hours before serving dessert. I roast my shrimp instead of boiling them. It is a thousand times better. Mini cheese steak spring rolls are (I'm from Philly), egg roll wrappers filled with very thinly sliced steak and American cheese.

I was just wondering how much of the individual apps do I need?

Yes roasting shrimp concentrates the flavor.

Your guests will be eating their dinner, so the amounts are larger than at a later cocktail type party.

large antipasti tray, about 6 pounds
filet mignon thinly sliced with crostini and sauce, 1.2 pounds raw per 10, 1 ounce slices

pork tenderloin, 1 pound raw per 6, may tiny great rolls to go with?

5 lbs roasted shrimp I would do 6, maybe 7, very very popular
mini cheesesteak spring rolls, 2 per person, none left- consider diaonal cut in half if large
mini quiche, 2 per person
mini crabcakes, 2-3 per person, dip 1 cup per 6
an imported cheese tray4 pounds assorted, 2-3 pounds crackers

Don't neglect the fruit tray.
