Moving to your own place for the first time can always be celebrated over dinner with friends and family. First of all, unless your cooking skills are very good, you have to be smart and choose something delicious, quick and easy to cook! Pizza delivery might not be the best option in this case.

Thankfully, you can find a ton of cooking recipes online that are easy to follow, save you time and simultaneously look and taste great. An easy suggestion for you is to cook using baking paper, or “en papillote” as they say in France, meaning cooking in a packet.

The main idea is to use the baking paper to create a seal that contains either chicken or fish, drizzle some olive oil, lemon, garlic or your favourite spices, add some veggies like sliced zucchini or asparagus and cook everything together in the oven.

Now that you have the delicious dinner sorted out, it’s time to set up the dinner table. Firstly, you will need a beautiful tablecloth. This can save you from a lot of trouble and cleaning while at the same time enabling you to add a more creative touch to the table. Match the tablecloth to some colourful table napkins that will be useful to anyone who gets a bit clumsy when opening their “en papillote”. You could use our luxury table napkins which are available in many different colours, fold them in numerous creative ways and impress your guests with your creative skills.

Follow these simple guidelines and no matter who your guests are, you will definitely amaze them with your hospitality.
