Knock Your Socks Off Menu Ideas?
Hello, next week I will be preparing a dinner for my employers Board of Trustees (25-30 people). I *really* want to wow them and while I am a decent cook, I am by no means a professional. Any menu recommendations for dishes that are sure to impress them (but are manageable for a solid home cook cooking for a crowd) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. :)

Have three courses
1) nibbles for when people arrive and are having drinks (for example, bruschetta, with a choice of toppings)
2) main for sit down. Avoid something that you have to cook to taste for each person, like a steak. Go for something easy on the grill. Or a stew you know/think people will like.
3) dessert to round out the meal. Tiramisu, trifle, shortbread or the like.
In each course have a vegetarian option for those who might want it.
Highlight, if possible, some seasonal and/or local foods. Asparagus, cherries, peas, fiddleheads, arugula. Spring lamb, or other accessible meat you and your crew like to eat.
Hope this helps as a start to your planning.
