If you’re one of Laura Jackson’s 129k Instagram followers, you’ll know the TV presenter, cookbook author and founder of lifestyle brand Hoste could teach most of us a thing or two about entertaining. Back in the early days of lockdown, she launched the #MakeAMealOfIt movement, encouraging people to find joy in cooking and tablescaping – and now, the queen of at-home hosting has created her first dinner kit.
Available to pre-order from 9am tomorrow, the limited edition ‘Make A Meal Of It’ Friendsgiving Hoste Box will be filled with everything you need to put on an autumnal feast or ‘friendsgiving’ meal. On the menu? Beef or wild mushroom bourguignon, mashed potatoes and heritage carrots for two, followed by sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel sauce and clotted cream. There’ll also be a bottle of Saft craft cordial, Wax Atelier candles, Irish linen napkins and menu cards – plus exclusive cocktail recipes and a playlist to set the mood. The box is a collaboration with Restaurant Kits, which launched this summer to help the hospitality industry survive the pandemic, and can be pre-ordered until 10 October for delivery throughout November. There are only 300 boxes available so your Saturday sleep-in might have to take a raincheck. £62 each, restaurantkitsuk.com
