Party Foods

For some reason unbeknown to me I have decided to throw my cousin's fiance a birthday party! He has been with my cousin for 8 years and he is pretty much like family and it helps that we also get along really well too! So I've decided to do a buffet of foods instead of a meal, as people can then just pick as and when they want! After going through websites and cookbooks for about 1 month I'm now at the end of my tether (i'm a perfectionist and I like things done a certain way!). I have made these recipes about twice now, experimented on by my boyfriend! Butter & Garlic Prawns Prawns cooked in butter, garlic, lemon juice and parsley ...  Read the complete review

In the words of the immortal Wizzard 'It's Chriiiiiiiiistmaaaaaas!'. Well nearly, anyway. Christmas time in our house means the kids' birthday party, another party for all the family we won't get a chance to see over Christmas or Boxing Day and probably another cocktail party for friends. And then there's the entertaining over Christmas itself. All this means muchos work in the kitchen for me, but do I care? Not a jot.

Family Party ========= For this ...  Read the complete review
