Safety in Numbers

It is Christmas and Nigella is having a fabulous easy drinks party. On the menu there are meltingly tender turkey meatballs in tomato sauce and a must-have party recipe, wholegrain mustard and ginger cocktailsausages served in a scooped-out loaf. For something a little different, there is gorgeous grilled halloumi in radicchio leaves with a zingy beetroot and lime sauce. Then as festive a dessert as you could imagine, squares of black beer gingerbread with snow-white icing sugar. And for a final flourish, a simple, seasonal cocktail, Filthy Fizz. There is more, she has got the lowdown on store-bought nibbles and she is sharing the secret to her party countdown plans. This is the season to be merry and Nigella has it all wrapped up.
