TV presenter and Celebrity MasterChef winner, Angellica Bell, has partnered with HelloFresh to support its new ‘Celebrat-in’ initiative by providing the nation with the ultimate ingredients needed for a cost-effective dinner party at home.
Despite almost three quarters (73%) of Brits opting to celebrate key milestones from birthdays to Easter at home this year as a way of saving money, new research from the meal kit provider shows that entertaining with friends and family can be just as costly with three fifths of us (60%) spending over £50 hosting and a further 16% splashing out over £100 on the occasion.
To save the nation time and money, Angellica Bell has shared her top tips for hosting the ultimate dinner party, whilst watching the pennies. Angellica said: "I've always been passionate about bringing people together around the table, and HelloFresh makes it easier than ever to do that. Their delicious meals and easy-to-follow recipes take the stress out of entertaining, so you can focus on creating memories with your loved ones."
Mimi Morley, Senior Recipe Development Manager at HelloFresh said: "My top tip for any dinner party or gathering is to dish up a meal that’s going to leave everyone wanting more, that’s why at HelloFresh, we believe that great dinner times are made from carefully crafted recipes that have been tried and tested hundreds of times. Not only are they delicious but also easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions that take the guesswork out of meal preparation. Our goal is to make cooking a fun and enjoyable experience, one that allows you to create tasty and nutritious meals without feeling overwhelmed or stressed. For those wanting to spend more time socialising and less time in the kitchen, we also have a selection of rapid recipes that can be whipped up in as little as twenty minutes.
