  • About
I like to keep first courses simple if my main course involves a lot of work. On the other hand, I go for something a little elaborate if I’m serving simple grilled or roast dishes. Many first courses can be prepared in advance.
  • Don’t hesitate to buy in a first course if that helps. Smoked fish is always a good choice.
  • Any meat or fish pâté will actually taste better after 24 hours. A surface covering of melted butter or cling film will help retain the moisture.
  • A savoury mousse will improve in texture with overnight refrigeration. They have lovely colours and there’s a variety to choose from.
  • Prepare a home-made soup that just needs reheating and if cream is to be added, stir it in just before serving.
  • Go for a salad mixture in an oil and vinegar dressing that doesn’t include lettuce. You get a lovely blend of flavours if the mixture has time to marinate and there’s no risk of lettuce wilting.
