And so begins the party season. When I’m throwing a party, I want most of my food prepped and ready: no one comes to watch the host be a slave to the kitchen all night, after all. At the same time, I also like to have one or two things that need a bit of last-minute attention – I enjoy the theatre and energy of it – so today’s party food suggestions reflect that balance: something savoury that can be made days in advance, something sweet that can be made weeks in advance and something to be cooked there and then and eaten in the moment. Cheers!
