Healthy dinner party menus

Cooking for guests doesn't mean you need to serve food laden with calories. These two healthy dinner party menus – for four and for six people – will satisfy your guests without threatening their wellbeing or their waistlines.


For four

Cannellini beans and rosemary on bruschetta

A satisfying lunch, starter or nibble for parties.

Piquant monkfish

Low in calories, fat and carbs, this recipe tastes fabulous and will keep you looking that way.

Zabaglione with crushed amaretti biscuits

Zabaglione is a light, foamy Italian dessert made by whisking eggs yolks, Marsala wine and sugar.

 


For six

Pomegranate salad with a saffron tahini dressing

This makes a lovely refreshing salad before the main course.

Saffron, paprika and garlic seafood stew

A rustic yet sophisticated seafood stew - and a nod to the Dorset Seafood Festival taking place this weekend. A winning recipe with both family and dinner party guests.

Rice and ricotta ice cream

Making your own ice cream is very satisfying; this recipe is a lighter Italian version so you can eat more!
