How To Make an Impressive Dinner

[Music playing]

I think when you have people coming over and they are excited to taste what you are making and you kind of want to show off. You know, it is very easy to do things like to throw roast in the oven. That is always my kind of standby because that way, I do not actually really have to cook. But you can make a roast chicken with grated cloves of garlic, or roast chicken with tons of lemon and herbs put in the cavity into infuse the chicken and you throw in some baked potatoes and some carrots and leeks and you have got a beautiful dinner.

So I think roast are probably the easiest thing for people to serve when the people come over. It is just, it’s so no muss no fuss and you can, you know, kind of relax and then make the rest of the entrees, the side dishes and the desserts. So that is what I always recommend. We do want precarious have a ton of things for people to entertain with and Nigella Lawson, in particular does a very nice job of entertaining recipes. I use a lot of chef-recipes when I entertain because I know that they are kind of simple in some ways but they have got a little, kind of, exotic kick to them. So that is always a little fun. I think when you entertain; you want to give people both comfort and surprise at the same time. So you might want make something very comforting like macaroni and cheese but you add truffles to it. So it is very luxurious.
