Please don't be too alarmed. Everything on this list is done in advance. All you have to do on the night is re-heating and assembling. Trust me.

I like to spend time with the people I've invited, so, depending on the time of year, and what's in season.
A tomato or a clear vegetable soup with plenty of flavour
Casserole or Boeuf Carbonnade with in-season vegetablesand fluffy mashed potatoes in winter. Roast Chicken with a green salad in summer.
Some sort of a fruit tart ora fruit platter and good cheeses. Maybe some nice home-made vanilla iceceam. (I have an old-fashioned wooden icecream churn that makes the most delicious, smooth icecream). Or, in summer, halved and stoned summer stonefruit, drizzled with butterscotch schnapps and brown sugar, baked in the oven til soft, and served warm, with softly-whipped cream
Good wine, good company, good conversation, good coffee to follow, with more good conversation.
Nothing that needs last minute fussing.
