Key Ingredients


After a long day at work, all you want to do is sit back, relax and watch your favorite reality television show. As you settle into your couch it suddenly dawns on you that tonight is the weekly book club meeting… and it’s your turn to host it.

You have forty minutes to go before the first guest is due to arrive. The standard menu of your book club meetings consists of appetizers and a couple of hearty side dishes.
You frantically scan the fridge and the cupboards. ..

A great way out of this predicament is to always have the following ingredients in your menu repertoire:

Side Salad

Lettuce, shredded cheese, virgin olive oil, a spritz of lime juice and cracked pepper

Loaf of Bread

Baked or unbaked

 Dipping Sauce

Garlic cloves or red onions sautéed in virgin olive oil, a dash of cracked pepper.
