I enjoy family gatherings and get togethers. It’s always nice to spend quality time with family and friends. I haven’t hosted a gathering in my home in a while, and really wanted to. Pier 1 Imports introduced me to the idea of having a Tasting Party. I had never heard of a Tasting Party, but I thought it was a great idea. When putting one together, the possibilities are endless!
I decided to do a Japanese themed Tasting Party. We had Shrimp Tempura, brown rice with furikake, and green tea. The tasting Party Starter Set from Pier 1 Imports comes with 21 pieces including mini stoneware spoons, large and small stoneware bowls, shot glasses and a stoneware tray to place everything on. I enjoyed setting it all up and loved what it looked like in the end. This set makes entertaining fun and simple.
I really want to do a dessert Tasting Party, or maybe even a cheese Tasting Party. There really is so much you can do with this set. I love it, and plan on using it a lot!
Disclosure: I was provided with the Tasting Party Starter Set from Pier 1 Imports to facilitate this post.
The food looks like it was delicious.

This is such a great piece! I love your visual and the food looks great!

I like that ceramic set. It would be a lot of fun to have a tasting party like with another couple.

Oh My Gosh! I just love Pier 1 and could spend hours in there! This tasting set is so cute and you had a really great idea to use it for. I can also see using this for a dessert party and so much more!
I want this! Pier 1 is one of my favorite stores!
It looks like a very nice dish to have different food items on for the Holidays that are coming up. I really like the food that is on there right now. Pier 1 has such awesome stuff!
I LOVE that set. I would use that all the time for little gatherings. I love the idea for using it for dessert. Your set up looks divine!
Now that looks fun! I want to come over now!
I love that starter set!
That tasting party set is great! Would work great for tapas!
Tempura shrimp is my favorite! Yum! Seriously … my mouth just watered!
I want that set!!!!!!!! I haven’t been in a Pier one in quite sometime. I should go and check them out again. Thanks.
Every single time I go in there I get caught in the tasting section. I just love all the fun serving ware they have for tasting parties. I like your idea of doing cheese next!
I like this… I am a big fan of Pier 1. I might have to pay a visit to the store soon.
I own this set and a few other tasting sets. They are the best! I use them in my parties a lot.
What a neat idea!! I love Pier 1 Imports! This set looks gorgeous too 🙂
nice set i would like to have a set of these.
Fun idea! It looks so yummy! I have never been to Pier 1. I need to check it out.
We don’t have a Pier 1 next to me and I miss it. I agree there is a lot you could do w/this set. A cheese tasting party sounds fantastic!
Thanks for the idea. I may use that for my next dinner party:)
This looks like a great party. We don’t have a Pier 1 nearby but I used to love to shop there when we did.
This is a nice little starter set and a good excuse to get together and have some fun. I love window shopping at Pier 1–so many lovely things.
I have heard of tasting parties before, I really like how Pier 1 came out with a starter set, this would make a great Housewarming Gift!!
My family would love this just not for entertaining I know the kids would like using it when they make special treats too.
This sounds so perfect – I would like to get this as a present for others and also have it for myself for holiday entertaining!
YUMMM what a cute entertaining idea! Much better than my parties…delivered pizza and bagged salad. I need help!
fantastic,this is a great ideal,i need one because my friends are always asking to taste different things that i cook or bake.
Cute! This would be perfect for cocktail night or an adult b-day party to serve appetizers! I need to invest in this for sure! Thanks for sharing!
I have those same serving dishes and still have not used them. This is giving me ideas on what to serve in them.
