Staying in is the New Going Out

We're half-way through October & when the nights are getting darker & the air is getting colder, it takes a really special night out to drag us from our warm houses & early nights - but we won't be going into hibernation just yet, not when staying in is the new going out - yes, we're going to plan a dinner party!

Dinner parties don't mean slaving away over your oven all day with little in the way of culinary expertise anymore - & of course, you definitely don't want to be stuck in the kitchen between courses when you could be the hostess with the mostest at the dinner table! We recommend cooking up a huge bowl of pasta, simply with oil, garlic, cherry tomatoes, feta & olives, a big salad & lots of warm crusty bread & getting everyone to get stuck in - minimal effort, maximum appreciation!

Decoration is also a key-factor for a successful dinner party & there are so many great blogs giving ideas on how to give your table that je ne sais quoi for little to no money - check out our favourites below:
