Dinner party for 12

Posted by kathryn in Miscellanea

Many people who run their own business spend a lot of the working week on their own. While I see clients at a great clinic, I’m not there every day, so the rest of the week I work from my home office. Running your own business is not for the faint-hearted, but there are many positives – autonomy, the heightened sense of achievement, doing something for yourself, flexible working hours, having much more control over your working day and career path, the list goes on.

However, any micro-business, like mine, can only survive with the goodwill, help and support of the people around you. Sometimes projects don’t go well, you can have bad days, or simply get overwhelmed by the length of your to do list (and how behind you are in your accounts). In that situation, it’s your family, friends and loved ones that keep you motivated, get you back on track and remind you of all the good stuff you’ve done to date. My micro-business simply couldn’t survive without these people.

It’s the season of Christmas parties, so this year I decided to have my own and to invite the group of people, who have been so invaluable to me this year – Tuesday night’s dinner party was the date.

It was a lovely evening. I’ve posted the menu here and am going to post each recipe separately over the next few days.
