Cold Table

Pâtés, terrines and cold meats make ideal summer meals. Serve a pâté or terrine for a light lunch or supper, accompanied by hot toast and a tossed salad. Galantines and cold meats are more versatile and can be served with hot new vegetables or with a salad and warm crisp rolls, whichever is preferred. Pickles, chutneys, mustard or horseradish sauce make tangy extras. Recipes that are served cold have many advantages; they can be prepared well in advance making meal times more relaxed and flexible, and they are ideal for entertaining.
