Are You The Hostess With The Mostess?
I don't remember the last time I went to a "dinner party" - by which I mean frills and fuss and pomp. I can't say that I'm too sad about it. Like pineapple-and -cheese on sticks, avocado mousse and all things in aspic, the formal dinner party seems a relic of former generations.
Yet we are cooking for our friends more than ever. A recent ICM poll suggests that three times as many Britons would rather cook a meal for friends on a Saturday night than choose to go out on the town. We have even earned our own acronym from the marketeers, who call us Shefs: Stay at Home and Entertain Friends.
