Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
The exquisite combination of salt, chocolate and caramel has risen to the height of pastry fashion in the past few years.
Baked Beetroot Risotto with Parmesan Crisps
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
With its amazing deep pink colour, this is a fun-looking dish with a seriously delicious taste. A risotto cooked in the traditional way can be a pain to prepare for a party. You have to be on hand to stir the stock constantly into the rice when you'd much rather be dazzling your guests with witty repartee. This baked recipe offers an easy alternative to all that stirring. For added convenience, the beetroot can be cooked up to two days in advance and the Parmesan crisps be kept for up to eight hours, if stored in an airtight box.
Almond Meringue with Apricot Purée
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
The apricot purée is also divine served with natural yoghurt as a quick snack or for breakfast. It can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container and will keep for up to a week.
Coq au Vin
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
Like most stews, this can be made in advance and will taste even better reheated the next day.
Chilled Avocado Soup with Red and Yellow Pepper and Coriander Salsa
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
The vivid colours of this soup make it a perfect dish for a dazzling dinner party.
Roasted Vegetable Coconut Curry
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
Making your own curry paste only takes a few minutes and the complex depth of flavour means it’s always worth doing.
Raspberry Millefeuille
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
This is a wonderfully light dessert of puff pastry layered with cream and raspberry. It looks very grand and impressive, so do serve it at the table as it looks best before it is sliced.
Chicken Liver Pâté with Sweet Apple Relish
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
The combination of port, brandy and thyme gives this rich, smooth pâté bags of flavour - fabulous as a dinner party starter on toast, crusty bread or thin crackers and with a dollop of the sweet apple relish.
Sesame and Mint Chickpea Pancakes
From: Rachel Allen's Dinner Parties
The pancakes contrast perfectly with the moist and crunchy salad, while the mint brings a real freshness.
