Hosting a small or medium-sized party at home? We at FoodThinkers have a great suggestion for you, with the help of the Breville Professional Grill. Skewers have always been fun to eat, but less fun to make, because it is so time consuming. Not anymore, we say. Take a look at three kinds of skewered delights and appetizers that can turn your party around (3 kinds for 3 major food preferences): a yummy teriyaki pork skewer, a unique pesto-flavored seafood skewer, and flavorful veggie skewers. Here we go!
