Tips to help you be The
Hostess With The Mostess
Whether you live in a cottage or a castle, a maisonette or a mansion,
friends love to be invited to your home – it doesn’t have to be fancy!
Remember - no restaurant can compare to a night-in with good
friends, homemade food, a pretty setting, and a relaxed host
(that’s you!) Memorable nights begin and end with the warm and
hospitable spirit of the host (that’s you again!)
•
Warmly greet each guest and introduce him or her to other
guests by saying something about the person (eg. “Meet John,
he’s a terrific golfer”…. Or “This is Suzanne, she’s just back from
Australia”). This gives people a starting point.
•
Have some spiced nuts or savoury snacks on small tables
around the reception room to relax your guests (our brains
automatically relax when eating with our fingers).
•
Offer a cocktail - most people don’t make cocktails at home, so
having one at a dinner party or barbecue is a real novelty. Make
it in a large batch so you can concentrate on welcoming your
guests.
•
Set the table creatively and imaginatively – that way, your
guests will be predisposed to liking your food before they’ve
even sat down! Keep floral arrangements low, to avoid blocking
eye contact between guests, and decorate your room with lots
of candles (it’s kind to wrinkles and hides a multitude!) Avoid
having scented candles in the dining area, as it can affect the
taste of the food.
•
Always have a starter that’s ready to go on the table – this
means that when your guests arrive, you have time to spend
with them enjoying an aperitif.
•
Serve dishes that you’ve made before, less room for error!
Weigh out your ingredients the night before and check all your
spices are fresh – that way you’ll be calm & in control of the
cooking.
•
Serving food “family style” with sharing platters to pass around
helps to get people talking to one another and is informal, yet
stylish, particularly as a starter.
•
Keep your numbers to between 6 and 8 guests, and make sure
your table is big enough, no-one likes their personal space
invaded. Set the table the night before – one less job to sweat
over before your guests arrive.
•
People sub-consciously eat to the speed of the background
music, so if you want them to savour your food, keep it slow
and low…so it’s easy to talk over. Make a nice playlist in
advance.
•
Make dinner colourful – avoid visually boring dishes (such as
creamy pastas or cauliflower and potato) - as people eat with
their eyes!
•
Don’t give your guests “death by dairy” – cream based soup,
heavy sauces, followed by cheesecake dessert, or you’ll have
very sleepy guests!
•
Have enough white wine chilled for the entire meal. Open your
red wine at least 1-2 hours beforehand to let it breathe. Ideally
decant it into a wide bottomed decanter.
•
Choose your main course first, and build the starter and dessert
around that. If you are not a confident cook, buy one course –
it’s perfectly acceptable, and choose a slow cooking dish like
a Moroccan Lamb Tagine or a hearty Guinness Beef Stew for
mains – it’ll take the pressure off you, and it can ‘hold’ for quite
a while if you’re flustered!
•
A cheeseboard (serve at room temperature) is a good option
for dessert as it requires little preparation and can finish off a
meal superbly. Four to five cheeses is ample and add grapes,
apple slices, nuts, figs, crackers, relish and serve with a glass of
good port per guest.
A signature cocktail to get your night started…
Cosmopolitan (makes 4 servings)
•
•
•
•
•
8 ounces Vodka
2 ounces Triple Sec or Cointreau/Grand Marnier
3 ounces Cranberry Juice
1 to 2 ounces fresh Lime Juice
4 2” orange peels/twists
Add vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice and the lime juice to a pitcher
then stir with ice. Refrigerate.
Then, once ready to serve, pour into four martini glasses and
garnish with orange peel/twist. Peel the orange twist over the filled
cocktail glass (that way, the orange oils spray into the glass & give
extra flavour)
Some recommended local cheeses for inclusion on your Cheeseboard!

St. Tola’s Goat’s Cheese
