To the contrary, entertaining (such a formal word) is all about having fun, and does not require any level of showing off or having to spend a whole bunch of money. There’s nothing in there about stenciling the drive, bringing out the best china, fretting about whether there are enough beans or showing off fancy cooking tricks. The word entertaining is defined as ‘providing amusement or enjoyment’. But then I decided adrenaline was highly overrated. I think to some extent my attitude was driven my a desire for that little adrenaline kick you get out of cooking under pressure. They would stand there wondering if they had the night wrong, and I would often end up rushing around pulling a rabbit out of a hat so we could have a decent meal. It was a book that I needed, as back then people would usually turn up as per my invitation, only to find me in the garden, the house looking somewhat of a bombsite and with no sign of any kind of meal in preparation.
I wrote it (as is the case with most of my books) for myself, as a template to seamlessly enjoying the process of having people over to eat at home. Some years ago I wrote a book about entertaining called Cooking to Impress Without Stress. Cooking to Impress Without Stress Annabel's Guide to Effortless Entertaining
