This week, Lilah is talking to the FT's food and drink editor, Harriet Fitch Little, about how to host the perfect dinner party. And by "perfect" Harriet means one that you as the host will actually enjoy! Harriet shares practical tips and tricks for putting together a spread and an ambiance, but most importantly she wants you to be yourself – even if that means foregoing homemade everything.
We love hearing from you. You can email us at [email protected]. We’re on Twitter @ftweekendpod), and Lilah is on Instagram and Twitter @lilahrap).
