Performative yawning!
A friend invites themselves over for dinner last minute. What are you making for them?
Probably a very simple paneer curry with any curry paste, coconut milk and whatever veg is in the fridge.
What’s your one piece of advice for effortless hosting?
One-pot dishes made in advance and reheated before serving are a lifesaver.
What do you keep in your storecupboard for last-minute hosting?
Easy flavour boosters such as harissa paste, Tajín, hot sauce and crispy chilli oil.
