Answer 3

First of all - any food allergies or serious dislikes? and any veggies coming?

Then - get as much done beforehand as possible. Make a big salad in the morning, put it in the fridge - keep the dressing separate or it'll go soggy.

Have summat simple for the main course - maybe a casserole that you make the night before and heat up again (casserole tastes better that way, but be sure to heat it thoroughly) with some fresh bread to mop up the gravy, and the salad on the side with the dressing in a jug.

Or chicken and a variety of salads, with new potatoes.

For dessert, get a selection of seasonal fruits, pick them over and have them ready just to slice into a pretty dish or present whole in a fruit-bowl. You can serve a jug of cream or a dish of creme fraiche on the side.

Keep it simple and seasonal. Hope it goes well!

Answer 4

make something easy that you don't have to tend to very often.  this allows you to be a good host(ess) by continuing to chat with guests.

I would suggest roasting a chicken with lemon slices tucked under the skin, lemon halves in the cavity with some whole rosemary and sage.   two easy sides would be a rice dish (pilaf or wild rice) and I personally love asparagus with roasted chicken with a hollendaise sauce over the top (you can buy this as a mix).

Add a green salad and sliced bread from the grocery and you have a pretty easy dinner that should satisfy everyone.

Answer 5
