Do you like coffee? Do you like Martini?
If you answered yes to both of the above then I think you might like to try your hand at Jo Pratt’s Espresso Martini cocktail.
If you answered no read on for a chance to win a cocktail shaker and Jo Pratt’s latest book In the Mood for Entertaining
Jo Pratt will soon be a world famous chef. She has worked with Gary Rhodes (who went to the same college as I did) Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver. She published her first book back in 2007 In the Mood for Food and more recently In the Mood for Entertaining. Gaggia The Italian Espresso Machine coffee makers per eccellenza got together with Jo and dreamt up some delicious cocktails that are easy and tasty and most of all they will impress your punters!
I have a marvellous prize up for grabs a copy of Jo Pratt’s latest book In The Mood for Entertaining AND a cocktail shaker The book is divided into four sections, Two’s company, Relaxed Entertaining, The Dinner Party and Feeding a Crowd which cover most of the times you’re likely to have to prepare food for others and impress. With sections like the Ready, Steady, dinner party you won’t have to slave over a hot stove all day either!
To win this fabulous prize all you have to do is watch the video above and tell me what colour top is Jo wearing and leave it in a comment below. For extra brownie points

Lovely prize – haven’t had a cocktail in years and need to remedy this. Now colour is a tricky beast and is entirely subjective. I think her top is deep pink or possibly even claret.
Author
I haven’t had cocktails in years either, as the trouble for me is I have too many and before I know it I keel over – maybe I should try again sensibly this time ;) Good luck!
I’m following Jo on Twitter, you on Twitter and I’ve liked your FB page.
Tricky colour – cerise/wine coloured

Those colours are fine, it is a weird colour isn’t it but very pretty too, good luck Janice and thanks for taking part :)

Ooh, it’s a beautiful top! Tough colour though – kind of a berry/wine/purple thing going on! I’ve also done all the facebook liking and twitter following – do I need to leave separate comments for those?? :D
Author
No, no extra comments needed. All those colours are fine. It’s been fun listening to everyone’s descriptions :) Good luck!
Yeah, it’s definitely purple – I’ve also done all the ‘following’ and ‘liking!’x
