Starters with Style

In collaboration with Eat Drink Talk

I'll never forget the most disappointing lunch invitation I ever had at a friend's house.

After what seemed like an endless drive across London to deepest darkest Surbiton, we were greeted with a plastic tub of supermarket hummus and some celery and carrot sticks...

I don't mean to seem ungrateful, but I think that when you invite people to lunch or dinner, you owe it to the guests who make the trek to your home to treat them to something a little special. Something homemade.

Here are three recipes that are very simple to make, absolutely delicious and are sure to have your guests feeling the love.

Jennifer Klinec from Eat Drink Talk has kindly agreed to provide Urban Junkies readers with mouthwatering recipes and foodtips.

To learn more, classes at Eat Drink Talk are held in Jennifer's beautiful loft in Clerkenwell, packed with information and useful tips, and you'll get to sample all of the delicious dishes prepared during class.
