Ready, Set, Cook
Your Home and Garden|July 2019

Take the stress out of hosting your next dinner party by utilising the best kitchen appliances to get the job done. With this pre-party prep guide, you’ll have all your culinary creations sorted well before your guests walk in the door.

Ready, Set, Cook

Entertaining at home should be fun for the host, not something that sends you into a spin. To avoid answering the door to a slew of eager guests with a forehead slick with sweat, preparation is key – and the first step in any cook’s repertoire should be having the right tools at hand. Having your friends and family think you’re the next Jamie or Nigella is always a great feeling, but remember you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen on complicated dishes to impress them. These simple, pre-party steps will ensure you’re able to sit down and enjoy the festivities without being literally tied to your apron strings.
