To celebrate the first anniversary of 'Where's My Freaking Dressing Room?!' Alex and Helen decided to organise a dinner party and were delighted to be joined by their close friend and food and fine-wine enthusiast, Henrietta Gullifer. Having trained at Leith's Cookery School and worked at Berry Brothers & Rudd for over five years, Alex and Helen felt Hetty was the perfect guest for their dinner party.

For their anniversary meal Alex and Helen curated a four-course musical menu, featuring four of their favourite operatic moments. They then tasked Hetty with delivering a food and wine pairing to accompany the music.

Join Alex, Helen and Hetty for their one year anniversary dinner party, welcoming you in with a glass of champagne in the dizzying heights of Montmartre, moving on to a light crustini starter in Mantua, followed by a sumptuous duck main-course in Paris and closing the evening out with a chocolate bomb to accompany the richest of German romantic music.

• We've loaded up a spotify playlist of our dinner party opera bangers for your listening enjoyment (including a few bonus additions, you’re welcome).
