Rachel’s Favourite Food For Friends

Your mother-in-law, your boss or your partner’s boss (or all three?!) is coming for dinner – what can you cook to make a good impression? Smoked salmon paté, roast fillet of beef with red wine glazed shallots, horseradish sauce, chocolate roulade, caramelised walnuts and blue cheese.
