Feeding a Crowd

The more, the merrier ...

There's something rather wonderful about a table full of people, plates being passed around and everyone finding room for just one more helping. But feeding a crowd can feel like a military operation if you're not careful!

Whether you're hosting a family gathering, throwing a party, celebrating a special occasion or simply bringing everyone together, these recipes will help you serve up something delicious without spending the entire day in the kitchen.

Think generous dishes, crowd-pleasing favourites and food made for sharing. Because the best gatherings aren't about everything being perfect; they're about good food, good company and making sure nobody leaves hungry.

So pull up another chair, grab a bigger serving spoon and let's get everyone fed!

A little something for everyone ...

From generous one-pot wonders to sharing platters and easy crowd-pleasers, these recipes make feeding a hungry gathering that little bit simpler. Big flavours, happy plates and plenty to go around!

Bramley Apple Potato Salad - A Somerset Orchard Potato Salad with Dill, Warm Cheddar Jalapeño Hot Links & Creamy Dressing

Nature's Larder It's about this time of year in Somerset that Bramley apples have a habit of appearing on doorsteps .. less cherry knocking, more apple knocking. You certainly can't walk through a Somerset village at this time of year without tripping over a box of Bramley apples. Left hopefully outside a gate with a little handwritten note inviting you to take a few, they're one of my favourite signs that the seasons are beginning to shift. This hearty potato salad is my wa

Delicious Sweet Potato Kale Black Bean Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Sour Cream

There are some meals that start with a recipe and others that start with a craving. These tacos fall firmly into the second category. I wanted something colourful, comforting and packed with flavour, but still fresh enough for a warm evening. Roasted sweet potato brings sweetness, cauliflower adds a little bite, black beans provide substance, and kale brings a welcome earthiness. Tucked into soft tortillas and drizzled with a smoky chipotle sour cream, they're the sort of tac

What's Cooking? Dodo's Banging Beef Short Rib Chilli Recipe

There’s something incredibly rewarding about sharing a beloved family recipe, especially when it’s filled with memories and love. This week, my niece has been staying with me, and she has been persistent in asking for my famous Beef Short Rib Chilli recipe. I have been reliably informed by several of my daughters friends that my chilli is "banging" and many have asked for the recipe, yet I've always resisted sharing it, because the ingredients tend to change a little each tim
