Planning Tips
The marinated cauliflower, and roasted almonds can be made the day before serving, and the dessert can be made the morning of your dinner party. The lamb takes about 4½ hours start to finish, so be sure to start it at least 4 hours before your guests arrive.
Sip pumpkin cocktails with the appetizers, and then when you sit down to eat, switch over to some hearty fall beers with Halloween-inspired spooky labels. See our favorite bottles ».
