Three people, alive or dead, whom you'd like to invite to a dinner party, and what culinary delights would you prepare for your guests: My grandmother (my mum's mum) and my granddad (my dad's dad) because I never got to meet either of them. I have to go with Jesus, too, because he's a great conversationalist and always brings the best wine. More >>
