24 Hour (dinner) Party People

A pictorial guide to Cooking a Fancy Dinner at Home.
We started work exactly 24 hours before the guests were due to arrive...















5 Tips for a successful evening:

1) Make sure your cooking partner has a culinary degree - she'll be fast!

2) In the days before the party, share a Google Spreadsheet to organise and track recipes, ingredients, equipment and tasks.

3) Make sure the chefs have a glass of wine or bubbly at their side at all times during the preparation stage.

4) Laugh together about all of the little 'disasters' you have along the way.

5) Only cook with people who aren't scared of pork fat.

Are you keeping your New Year's Resolutions? So far I am keeping up with mine pretty well - I managed to cross another 'must do' off my list by cooking a dinner with Amanda Berne, one-time San Francisco Chronicle Restaurant critic and currently a Senior Editor at Publishers, 10 Speed Press. Above is a copy of the menu we worked from. Come back tomorrow to see how we got on in the kitchen together.



PS - I hope Amanda doesn't think that's the end of it. I am immediately instigating another resolution to repeat that experience again. (And again).
