In this instalment of her monthly column, she shares a winter-ready dinner party menu that focuses on freshness before party season truly kicks off \u2013 as well as her favourite new entertaining accessories.Things start to ramp up during November with party season and Christmas on the horizon, but I like to hold off on the turkey for a little longer, and go for something fresh and zingy when people come over. In the UK especially, November can be a very wet and grey month, which is an excellent excuse to have a taco party. These chipotle chicken tacos are beautifully simple to throw together (the key is the chipotle paste). I love to pair them with a sesame spiked slaw and serve them alongside some ginger margaritas.<\/p>\n<h3>Ginger Margaritas<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>A gingery twist on the classic margarita, these are great when the weather turns cooler and everyone seems to be fighting off a cold. Make the ginger syrup ahead of time, either the morning of your dinner party or the day before.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Smokey Chipotle Chicken Tacos<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>These are really fun to make when your friends come over. There are a few different elements, but everything can be prepped ahead. I like my avocado really creamy, so I use a food processor for this, but if you like a more textured guacamole, you could simply mash it with a fork.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Hispi Cabbage Sesame Slaw<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>I always make a big bowl of this when I do taco night. It\u2019s good on the tacos and as a bit of crunchy green on the side. The dressing has a good kick from the chilli and ginger, which is great alongside the smoky chicken. Feel free to make ahead and toss just before serving. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How To Entertain This Month, With Alexandra Dudley Alexandra Dudley is a food columnist, cookbook author and host of the Come For Supper podcast.
