Michelle Q What’s your advice for stress-free dinner party entertaining? I want to impress! It’s all about make-ahead dishes for me. Look for recipes where you can either prepare ahead or even freeze parts ahead. For entrees, you can’t go past a grazing board. Pick it all up from the supermarket or add a few personal touches, such as homemade focaccia, which you can make a day ahead. For mains, slow-cooked dishes are great. Pulled pork or slow-cooked curries are perfect as the flavour gets better with time. Try chilled desserts, like cheesecake, tiramisu, panna cotta or mousse. Matt Q What is meze and how can I make it? Meze is a profusion of dips and little dishes served with drinks. The name comes from maza the Persian word for…
