Give me three ideas for a fun dinner party

Here are some engaging party ideas that put food at the center!
- Tapas party: make lots of small dishes, such as stuffed mushrooms, that are easily passed and snacked on throughout an evening. This is great for a casual get together of friends, and leaves plenty of time for socializing. 

- Potluck: ask all attendees to bring one dish. This is a great way to let your guests showcase their own skills and share something they love, while also reducing the amount of prep required by the host!

- One-dish meals: if you don't want to spend all day prepping, make a fun dish such as paella (large Spanish rice dish) or chili (green or red) that you can prepare in one large serving. These can also be made to accommodate dietary restrictions, such as vegetarian or gluten-free guests.
