Everyone loves a great Halloween-inspired meal, so we've themed ours to the fun and spooky Monster Mash! Dress up in costume, dim the lights and get ready for a dinner party fit for zombies, witches and ghosts.
Drink and appetizers Welcome your guests with a Dracula-inspired bloody martini. Serve up some devilled eggs and devils on horseback to complete your 'horrors'-d'oeuvres course.
Starter This science-experiment-gone-wrong green pea and white bean soup will make any zombie shriek with joy. Crispy pancetta 'wolf-skin' optional.
Main Your guests will be delighted with this 'bloody' seared duck breast with cherry sauce. Serve it up with a side of delicious root-veg 'monster' mash.
Dessert Turn an easy and sinful chocolate cake into a ghoulish Halloween scene. These black-sesame cookies make great tombstones. Chocolate cookie crumbs and candy pumpkins complete the look for this spooky 'graveyard smash'.
Check our step-by-step guide on how to make this graveyard cake.
