Surround yourself with friends, good food, drinks, fun and good conversations. Organize a dinner party.
Friends Laura Jackson and Alice Levine regularly organize a supper club in their hometown of London:a dinner party for people who don't know each other. Everyone sits at a large table. Creating a festive atmosphere and giving people a warm and homely feeling, that is their great passion. In their book Round to ours they share 24 occasions where you can invite people to the table (from rooftop picnic to curry night), including delicious recipes and tips for the decoration and the music. “Food is very important, but don't forget that people coming over to make it really cozy. With nice guests, tasty drinks and a perfect playlist, your evening can't go wrong - even if you only serve skewers with pineapple and cheese.'
Invite friends or acquaintances that you know less well and make it a pleasant evening. Or act like Laura and Alison and invite strangers. You can find tips for a Mexican Party in the September issue of Santé. Curious about more? Order the book Round to Ours by Laura Jackson &Alice Levine, €26 via Bol.com.
