We just finished filming a new season of Barefoot Contessa and I wanted to throw a party for the crew – but after filming all day, there was no time to cook!!  I decided to do a simple appetizer buffet of things I could assemble at the last minute- the only real cooking involved was roasting the shrimp for 10 minutes and making a few easy dips. All I had to do before the party was arrange the platters and pop the Champagne!! Now that's my kind of party!
