Can anyone please help me. I have to say thank you to approx 80 people and want to provide drink and something to eat/nibble. It will be very informal and be held over a lunchtime/afternoon for two/three hours. Can anyone please suggest food ideas. I will be preparing it myself but do have the time. Thank you.

If you google 'gary rhodes prawn cocktail' it will show the website where it is listed. I thing it's uktvfood or bbc food. Good luck. Let me know how you go on as I thought it was quite difficult.

I don't want to buy my venison from the supermarket but there are so many on-line butchers. Can anyone please recommend a good one.

I am not going to have the time to make my own jus and I need quite a lot i.e 12 people. Can anyone recommend a very good quality bought alternative or a quick way of making one. Thank you.

Has anyone made this dish from Gary Rhodes' around Britian book?

Thank you again Rosti.

Is sorrel easy to get in good supermarkets. I live near Booths, Waitrose & Sainsburys. If I can't find any what other herb would you suggest for a sauce with fishcakes?

Does anyone know where I can get some dishes like the ones Gary Rhodes uses in his More Rhodes around Britiain cookery book. They are white porcelain wide rimmed soup/pasta bowl. Very elegant indeed and makes presentation of food something else.

I am afraid to do this when it is mentioned in a recipe. Does it make any difference if I add it and don't set it alight?

I made Gary Rhodes salmon fishcakes recipe and they were lovely but not keen on the lemon butter sauce he serves with them. Can anyone give me a different accompaniment. And does anyone have another fishcake recipes they can recommend.

Hello again Rosti. Yes the James martin one sounds a little more interesting. Thank you. And yes to answer your question I was looking for more of a quiche type tart to serve for a dinner party but all my recipe books are full of goats cheese and onion with balsamic which I think is a little overdue now.

Thank you Mia 17 - I will look it up on the Good Food website. Yes that's the one Rosti. I'm glad you agree. Let me know if you ever give it a go. Many thanks again for you response.

Sounds good

Can someone give me a very tasty recipe for a warm dsavoury tart dish for a dinner party apart from goats cheese & onion. Thank you.

Has anyone made this recipe which I got from this website? Unfortunately I didn't see this episode from the Peoples Cookbook. I made it and it wasn't a great success. The flavour wan't too bad albeit a bit strong. But the filling was runny. I couldn't see how it would set without the help of an egg. I couldn't find any smoked feta either in any of the supermarkets in my area, so I wonder if that would have made the flavour better. Also it didn't tell me what temperature I sould have had the oven set at. I am looking for a reallly tasty recipe for individual tarts for a dinner party and this sounded fab.

The chicken chasseur but not casserole. Thank you.

Does anyone have a very good chicken chasseur recipe?

Which cut of lamb do you think would work best for a formal dinner party?

Has anyone made this Daube of Lamb yet?

Thank you for this - I think French Onion Soup is the favourite which can be made the day before, but Im still unsure of main course. What cut of meat would it be for a beef daube? And definitely the apple desert. Thank you to you all.

Where can I buy these. All the supermarkets I go to only have shallotts.

I now fel spoilt for choice but will study hard and let you know what I am going to do. Thank you.

Thank you for this . Where can I get the recipes from?

I am doing a dinner party next week for 10 people and would like to go all French. Can anyone give me a good starter and a main course but not beef bourguignone.
