So, another dinner party, another curry extravaganza. Helpful domestic guides (IE. lifestyle magazines), tell you that in all cases of entertaining guests, simpler is better. Probably make a few things the day before, maybe buy the dessert, eliminate the starter etc. I even own a few of these publications and often sit reading them imagining my life as an organised hostess, free to chat to my guests, drink in hand while everything takes care of itself. Why then, do most of the soirees I end up hosting have me sweating, stressed and half drunk before I've as much as thrown my naan breads under the grill?
