MARTINI OLIVES
A party has got to have bits to pick at, and what could be better than these? I got the idea of Martini Olives (without the Martinis) from a colleague of mine from the New York Times, Denise Landis, from her lovely book, Dinner For Eight. I'm afraid mine are a slightly cut-back version, but I shouldn't apologise for that, as I don't feel ashamed. These aren't just great to have at a party, they're mighty fine to stash in jars and give as presents.

Steps:
- Open the jars and drain the olives, putting them into a bowl. Pour in the gin, vermouth and chili oil and give them a stir. Leave to steep for half an hour or so while you get ready for your party. You can put any leftover olives in a jar with a lid for another couple of days, or indeed longer though it's doubtful that will arise.
CLASSIC MARTINIS
Shaken or stirred? Vodka or gin? The classic martini can be varied according to your tastes and garnished. Try it with our vermouth-soaked olives. When Martha made this recipe on Cooking School episode 403, she reduced the quantities and made two martinis.
