A perfect menu with friends who do not mind helping you in the kitchen or are happy to chat to the others while you are busy making the main course.

​

Dips or Spreads can be made in advance, some can even be frozen. If short of time, the quality of the dips and spreads is very acceptable from the delicacy store.

 

The Salad must be made fresh, make a big quantity and leave it on the table to be part of the main course.

Steak and Chips have to be cooked just before serving.

The Butter Cake can be frozen and defrosted in the morning. The recipe for the Ice Cream is amazing, no one will be offended if you get it from the supermarket.

 The Hot Chocolate Sauce, can be made any time and takes few minutes. It can be kept in a closed jar in the fridge to be reheated when needed.
