June is a time for fiesta celebration. There are more families and friends getting together to reconnect and strengthen bonds. Here are some tips for a worry fiesta celebration...

Easy menu planning.
Ask family members to assist you in planning the event by getting their suggestions on possible menus to be served.

For a meeting of minds and palates, organize a "Something Old, Something New" gathering and prepare beloved, handed down recipes like morcon and lengua alongside contemporary dishes like pansit and BBQ steak. You can plan a "Meat Lovers" dinner, a sure hit among young and old revelers if you include lechon kawali, pochero and bulalo in the menu list. Or you can plan a Pinoy-style lauriat and load the buffet table with lumpiang shanghai, pancit molo, siomai and quekiam.

No fuss preparation.
Don't hesitate to delegate! Assign family members to do various chores like marketing, food preparation and cooking.

Happy cooking and happy fiesta!
