To ensure both a delicious and relaxing festive season when entertaining family and friends, Chef Stacey recommends keeping it simple with fuss-free canapés that can be easily prepared in advance. Put out glasses and an ice bucket or two of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and let your guests help themselves. Adjust both recipes as needed for your party size.
