In the mood for party food

HAVING a party at home can be daunting but with good organisation a family Holy Communion lunch or a celebration for family and friends can be enjoyable for everyone, even the hosts.

GET AHEAD: Take out all the plates, bowls and cutlery to make sure you have enough and that they are clean.

Buy napkins, and if you don’t have enough glasses, some paper cups. Make sure you have plenty of rubbish bags for afterwards, but try to recycle food. Leftovers can make great soups and sandwiches.
