Win a Dinner Party CD
Music to your tummy
When you’re throwing a dinner party you have to set the right mood. Flowers, candles, clean crockery, salmonella-free food and music.
I hope you agree with me when I say that the first four are easy but it’s the last one - music - that can do your head in.
When it comes to dinner party music, you can’t expect to just switch on the radio and be done with it. If you do that, you will be bombarded with something like “your girl got little booty, my girl got a big old booty” or, worse “don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?” This is undesirable because the last thing you want to do is remind your guests of the crazy fun times they could be having if they weren’t obliged to be stuck at your dinner table the whole night.
What you need is music that allows your guests to hold intelligible conversation and praise you for not poisoning them. What you get is The Dinner Party, Lifestyle Food’s 2-CD collection of tracks that serve as the perfect backdrop to your banquet. Because, if anyone knows how to throw a dinner party, it’s Lifestyle Food - TV home of hostess extraordinaires Nigella Lawson, Maggie Beer and many more. Can't argue that.
The first CD features old-timers like Tony Bennett and Dean Martin to soothe your guests into a stupor where they can but only enjoy your meal. Once the wine has started to work its magic, pop in the second CD for more up tempo tunes from artists like Jazzanova and Miami Horror.
Can’t be bothered to even sort out the salmonella-free food part of the deal? The Dinner Party comes with a booklet of six recipes from some of Lifestyle Food’s chefs so you don’t have to go far to find inspiration for your menu.
We have five copies of The Dinner Party to give away. Enter here.
