Autumn menu
Although Deborah may not be involved in much cooking, she has luckily been to more than her fair share of dinner parties. This being the case, MyDish decided to get the Dragon on board to help out with the dinner party menu challenge (for those of you who don’t know, we have set ourselves the task of finding and publishing a different dinner party menu each week).
Nibbys Spanish Menu
Nibby's choice centers around her famous Paella - a one pot dish - all the accompaniments are in the pot! This is top and tailed with tapas for starters and a Spanish dessert of creme catalan and a fresh Mediterranean fruit salad to finish
Dinner Party Choice by Carol Savage
I decided to have a lamb tagine and then chose what would go well with main course. I didnt want a meat dish for a starter so I chose Poached egg with salmon and then I had a summer fruit medly to go with a Key Lime Pie. Its always good to have a sweet and a more healthy dessert as an option for those who don't do dessert (not me!)
Mat Follas's 3 Course Dinner
Mat Follas winner of MasterChef and supporter of The Happy Egg co. has chosen a fluffy rich cheese souffle to start followed by Thai flavoured Salmon En Croute and finished off with a tangy lemon tart.

An Italian Extravaganza
Putting together an Italian dinner party starts with freshly baked bread and pre-dinner appetizers and then when choosing a starter I have gone for a traditional Tuscan soup followed by an Italian meat dish and finish with a fabulous Biscoti biscuits to go with your after dinner espresso coffee.
Indian Dinner Party
When I have done this menu before I haven’t really served starters as the chicken curry is so darn delicious that they are usually pretty full from main course and so starters would be overkill. Sometimes with drinks I make some roasted spiced nuts just to keep them going!”
Thanksgiving menu
Jenny loves Thanksgiving even more than Christmas as it brings people together of all faiths and focuses on the good in life - this is a real feast of a menu!
Informal dinner for 6 by Chef2b
This is a simple tasty menu that is relaxed to make and serve for your friends for an informal gathering.
French Menu
French cuisine is great for providing plenty of wow factor at a dinner party to impress, but this menu will hopefully avoid the hassle of spending too much time in the kitchen as lots of the preparation can be done in advance, leaving you more time at the table. This dinner serves 6 – or 4 hungry people!
Michele's Menu Choice
This is a lovely easy yet tasty dinner for 4 (you could stretch to 6) but it involves cooking the main course while your guests are at the table as the Steak is made to everyone’s preference.
Alicia's Choice
Here is my menu for a really easy lunch with friends that is tasty and really hits the spot. It doesn’t need hours of prep or time in the kitchen when you’d rather be enjoying your guest’s company with a glass of red in your hand. The lamb is my mate Dave’s – you just shove it in the oven and leave for a few hours – tastes amazing.
