My name is Amanda and this is my cookbook in the making. I'm not a particularly good cook but my great loves are cooking, eating and socialising; I get to enjoy all of these by throwing parties for my family and friends using recipes and menu plans that let me prepare beforehand. My life gets quite busy with work and my commitments to trashy american tv shows so I often prepare over a night or two before a Friday night party, or during the morning of a Saturday night get-together. This is how I get to enjoy a glass of champagne or two, share some laughs and eat a lot of food with those I love.
This blog is for anyone who enjoys taking the same approach to hosting parties. My hope is that you find these recipes let you get a bucketload of enjoyment sharing a home-cooked meal with good friends.
