A progressive dinner is a dinner party with successive courses prepared and eaten at the residences of different hosts. Usually this involves the consumption of one course at each location.
Participants should have registered with Kay Rankin already and will be required to host either entree, main course or dessert with accompanying drinks for six people, in their own home. Then they will move on to different mystery homes for each course.
To begin the dinner, nominated couples will prepare an entree course with accompanying drinks for three couples.
At 6.00 pm, two couples arrive at their home, and the 6 sit down for the entree/soup course.
At 6.45 pm, the hosts open an envelope and let everyone know where each couple is to head off for a main course. (One or two of these couples may be going back home to serve the main course to their mystery guests).
At 7.15 pm, two couples will arrive at the nominated main course home and the 6 different people will enjoy the main course, together with accompanying drinks.
At 8.15 pm, the next envelope will be opened to let these three couples know where each is headed for the dessert course.
At 8.45pm, two couples will arrive at the nominated dessert course home to share the dessert course together.
At 9.30pm, the final envelope will be opened to announce where everybody participating will congregate for coffee/tea.
At 10:00 pm, everyone will arrive at the final home for tea/coffee, chocolates and reminiscences about where they have been all evening and who they have socialised with.
Note that fancy cooking is NOT a pre-requisite, the company and getting to know people in the privacy and ambience of their homes is the reward for the evening.
Pre-purchased food is quite acceptable for those who are not confident in the kitchen.
