Surprise guests at the door or needing to cater for a larger than usual crowd? Here are our top 3 ways to stay on top of the festivities.
- Don’t fear the unexpected guest at your door – simply bulk a meal quickly by adding grains or potatoes to meats and chickpeas to vegetable dishes.
- An extra layer of mashed potatoes, a side of quinoa or throwing a little orzo into a recipe can make it feed a larger-than-usual crowd.
- Ensure the pantry is stocked with a few snack platter heroes such as biscuits, crackers, chips, chutneys and jams. This way, you can whip up a welcoming nibble for any spontaneous visits.
