The key to a successful dinner party? Low-effort recipes that deliver delicious results.

We're all about getting together with friends and family, but sometimes the idea of hosting can feel overwhelming. Our Dinner Party series is here to help you feel confident inviting everyone over for the night.

One of the biggest challenges we hear about? Menu planning. Now, we're making it a non-issue by sharing the recipes we'd love to make the next time everyone comes over. From appetizers to dessert, we've got you covered with easy but satisfying dishes that will leave guests impressed and, more importantly, you feeling like you can handle it all.

This is our dinner party menu for November:

Welcome Drink: Seedlip Martini

Olive and lemon flavours add to the sophistication of this alcohol-free martini made with Seedlip, a non-alcoholic spirit with tons of flavour. If you want to turn it into a cocktail, substitute with gin and dry vermouth.

Appetizer: Pumpkin Soup

Nutritious, and culinary versatile, pumpkins bring a new fall flavour to old standbys like soup.

Main: White Lasagna With Butternut Squash, Kale & Mushrooms

Make this twist on traditional lasagna, full of fall flavours we all love.

Dessert: Maple Butter Tart Pie

Try your hand at this divine recipe, which takes the nationally revered butter tart and makes it even better by turning it into a whole decadent pie, subtly flavoured with our next favourite thing, maple syrup. What does that mean for your final course of the night? As large a portion as you desire and more of that sugary, buttery filling in every single bite!
