Ree Drummond is throwing a cocktail bash for the crew helping to open her store in town. There's a delicious line up of make-ahead portable canapes on the menu: juicy Asian Beef Skewers, retro Ham Salad in Endive Cups, simple Salami Roll Ups, a no-cook Crudite platter and divine Tiny Tomato Tarts. There are sweet treats too -- decadent Black and White Brownies and chewy Caramel Nut Truffles -- plus a Pawhuska Prohibition Punch to toast the team.
The Kitchen is celebrating good times, and Katie Lee kicks off the party with Surf and Turf Skewers. Then the hosts share their summer food trend forecast, Food Network Star winner Tregaye Fraser stops by with two easy chicken recipes that are perfect for entertaining, Sunny Anderson makes a dessert pizza and Geoffrey Zakarian stirs up Key Lime Pie Punch. Event planner Marcy Blum shares the latest party trends and Marcela Valladolid makes a DIY Photo Booth.
Katie Lee Biegel wows party guests with some past recipes made for entertaining. She starts with Geoffrey Zakarian's Grilled Lamb Chops and Vegetable Skewers and Jeff Mauro's Mini Beef Wellington Bites before Geoffrey and Sunny Anderson take on Fun Finger Foods with Shrimp Bruschetta and Pita Pizza. Then, she revisits her Red Pepper Dip, Alex Guarnaschelli's Pecorino and Rosemary Popcorn, Sunny's Spicy Hot Chicken Dip and Jeff's Buffalo Sauce Fountain. Finally, Katie makes a dazzling Chocolate Hazelnut Fondue.
