Antipasti board
Easy and informal but always welcome, antipasti is a fun casual way to entertain. Pop a selection of Italian cured meat, a generous piece of parmesan and grissini sticks with fresh figs and griddled courgettes on a board and then let everyone dive in and help themselves. Sherry is optional.

Method
step 1
Cut the ends off the courgettes, and then cut them lengthways into long slices, about 3mm thick.
step 2
Heat a griddle pan and arrange a few courgette slices in a single layer, placing them diagonally across the ridges of the pan. Cook until they have char-marks, then turn and cook the other side. Take out of the pan and allow to cool while you cook the next batch.
step 3
Arrange all the ingredients on a large board, set out two knives so people can hack off chunks of the cheeses, then let everyone help themselves.
