If there’s one good thing to come out of being in and out of lockdowns for the past two years, it’s that most of us now consider ourselves budding home cooks. We slayed the sourdough. We brought our banana bread A-game. And don’t get us started on the hours we spent rolling handmade pasta across our kitchen benches. It was the best of times (for home cooking), it was the worst of times (for our social lives). Since we’ve returned to normality, the joy of getting creative in the kitchen is still there – but now we can invite all our mates over and let them enjoy our hard work. If you’re keen to entertain, but don’t want to spend up big while doing so – we’ve got three meal ideas and drink pairings that are sure to impress while keeping the budget low. Serving suggestion: three of your nearest and dearest.
