NOTES : Assembly Required- this recipe for a summer party where guests
assemble their own salad...Have platters of roast lamb with potatoes and
marinated artichokes. Of course, plates of marinated mushrooms, roasted
peppers, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and cheese enable the guest to further
customize the meal.

THese are foods that people like to eat in summer. Tasty, appealing and
stylish.

One proviso: Group efforts tend to need reinforcement, like a sumptuous
dessert.
