You’ve decided on a colour scheme for your big day, and it’s all-white. Simple, elegant and classic. But now you’re wondering what to do about the food?

Keep guests fed with (even more) delicious ‘late night’ wedding snacks.
Gone are the days when a wedding menu centred around a main meal with a traditional number of courses. It’s common practice now for bridal couples to serve food throughout their big day, from after the ceremony to late into the night.
Wedding desserts that will take your menu to the next level.
Your wedding menu is a major part of making your wedding a successful and memorable event. And while we know that traditionally the wedding cake holds pride of place when it comes to the highlight of your meal, wedding desserts has received more attention over recent years. After all, who doesn’t love dessert, especially as part of the best kind of celebration?
Top tips for planning the perfect dinner party menu
Most of us thoroughly enjoy a good dinner party. Delicious food, good wine, great conversation – what’s not to love? But evening get-togethers can also be incredibly stressful, especially if you’re a busy professional and don’t have a lot of spare time to dedicate to preparing an elaborate meal.
Frozen food options that you should always keep in your freezer.
If we were all capable supernatural beings capable of whipping up dinners in a matter of seconds, there’d be no need for freezers or frozen meals. But sadly, we’re all just ordinary individuals: we’re busy; we’re often stressed and tired; we have a million things going on; and we need pre-made dishes to fall back on when we just don’t have the time or energy to put together a meal from scratch.
Three big no-nos when it comes to frozen foods
Thank goodness for frozen meals! They’re a real life-saver when you just don’t have the time to cook up a feast for the family or for an upcoming dinner party. But there are also certain risks involved in freezing and thawing food, and if not done correctly, you could wind up contaminating dishes and making yourself and others very ill.
Serving lasagne? Get creative with these (not salad) sides.
You can’t go wrong with lasagne. It’s saucy, delicious comfort food at its finest. And it’s a great frozen food option that defrosts easily, so you can store a few good portions in your freezer for those evenings when you feel like serving up hearty goodness without any of the effort.
Five tips for dealing with frozen meals
For many of us, the last thing we feel like doing at the end of an exhausting day is preparing dinner. So we resort to grabbing take-out on our way home or we throw something super quick (but relatively unhealthy) into the oven. Home-cooked frozen meals, however, provide us with an option that’s both convenient and wholesome, so the whole family can eat well, while preparation time is kept to a minimum.
