Oscar-night: easy entertaining menu

Add some glitz to Oscar-night at home with an easy entertaining menu. Start with a sparkling citrus cocktail, and work your way through an array of crostini that are dressed to kill (think roasted grapes with goat cheese and rosemary, or creamy camembert, with roasted lemon and honey), before sitting down to a light and zesty garlic-shrimp pasta. For the grand finale, pop up our favourite sweet kettle corn to munch on as the show gets underway.

Cocktail
The Audrey A sparkling glass of OJ, Prosecco, and red vermouth, garnished with brown sugar and an orange wedge.

Glamourous crostinis It’s a simple formula that will never steer you wrong. Top crostini with any soft cheese and something roasted or toasted. Season with something flavourful (herbs, syrups) and serve.
