Great hosts have great tricks. For a crowd, a spiral-sliced ham, served with homemade biscuits and a tart chutney, never fails to impress. For family dinners, chicken roasted with smoked salt and olive oil, bronzed to a golden finish, keeps them coming back for more.

For an intimate holiday dinner, boneless duck breasts, served with a creamy pan sauce, wows every time. Duck breasts deliver on bold taste with the ease of a steak or pork chop.
