There are 2 key factors to a successful dinner party, good company and delicious food. Theo helps you prepare for your next night entertaining.

Theo's Dinner Party Ideas

• If you're not much of a chef your local butcher can help you impress with restaurant quality food ideas.
• Theo picks tender Plantagenet pork fillets available from Rumps Gourmet and other fine foods that are a delicious alternative to chicken.
• Butcher Graeme Wheildon recommends a truffled pork fillet to compliment Theo's Apple Sauce.
• First stage to a tender pork is tenderising, this will allow stuffing ingredients to penetrate the meat with flavour, which can all be done by your local butcher.
• For the filling try a combination of cous cous, parsley, onion and garlic.
• Roll up fillets, tied with a toothpick and cook in a pan for 7 to 8 minutes for best results.
• Theo's apple sauce includes, a table spoon of butter, 2 teaspoons of sugar, apple slices and a hint of curry leaves available from some fresh herbs from Swan Valley Nursery which you can grow at home and pick from the pots in your kitchen.

Pork Tips and Facts

• Plantagenet Pork is free range and corn fed, which is not only good for the pig, but also good for you!
• Plantagenet Pork has a sweeter, finer meat texture with incomparable flavour. You haven't tried pork until you have tried Plantagenet Pork!
• Only ever buy free-range pork. If your butcher or supermarket does not stock this product, please ask for it. You will be surprised how much shop owners and managers appreciate your feedback.
• When choosing pork always avoid very pale meat which is usually tough and watery.
• Buy local - Most of Australia's boneless ham and bacon will be made from frozen pork imported from overseas. Supporting local grown and locally made free-range pork is not only good for the community but it is good for good food.
• Plantagenet free-range pigs are grown to the highest welfare and food standards, which ensures you get the highest quality free-range pork in WA.
