"What Leslie Mann, Elisabeth Moss, Kit Harington, and Malin Akerman Serve Guests\nStars reveal their go-to recipes for entertaining at home\nOn the red carpet at the Emmys, Nashville siren Connie Britton looked the part of an elegant hostess as she described her entertaining arsenal. \"I had people come over this morning,\" she said. \"And I served caviar and Champagne. It certainly was delicious!\"\nTop Chef judge Gail Simmons concurred, pausing on the red carpet to tell AD, \"I love making little potato pancakes with sour cream and caviar and smoked salmon.\"\nOn their way into the BAFTA TV tea, Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes and his wife, Lady Emma Joy Kitchener, spoke to the Inquisitive Guest like characters plucked from a P. G. Wodehouse novel. \"I don't know that we give them much,\" said Fellowes. \"We enjoy the theatricality of entertaining, the room, the table\u2014our rather 19th-century approach. I don't think that anyone comes to our house for the food.\"\nThe Inquisitive Guest caught up with True Blood's Stephen Moyer at the BAFTA event. He described a down-home breakfast that whips up for houseguests. \"I'm a bacon fan, but I cut all the fat off,\" said the man behind the skillet. \"And [I serve] scrambled eggs and Marmite.\"\nAmerican Horror Story's Sarah Paulson, attending the HBO f\u00EAte, described herself as no Top Chef contender. \"No one comes to my house. But if they did, they'd get a bowl of Cheerios,\" she quipped.\n\"Oh, I'm a little lazy,\" admitted Curb Your Enthusiasm's Cheryl Hines at the HBO party. \"I like to order in Chinese food and have martinis.\"\nAlso at HBO, Trophy Wife's Malin Akerman gave a nod to her Italian husband Roberto Zincone's heritage. \"Always pasta, buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, and breadsticks,\" said Akerman. \"Everybody loves that.\"\nMad Men's Elisabeth Moss appeared flummoxed at the Women in Film event when the Inquisitive Guest asked what she serves guests. \"Oh, my gosh, red wine, booze?\" she offered with a laugh. \"Do nachos count? Doritos, hummus, that's fancy, right?\"\nDuring arrivals at the Emmys, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington told AD that he'd just bought a flat. \"I've started cooking and hosting dinners,\" he said. \"I do the classic chicken wrapped in bacon with a little bit of cheese in it.\"\nOn the arm of her spouse, Judd Apatow, at the Emmys, Leslie Mann told AD that she favors comfort food. \"I make a really good chicken potpie in the little ramekins,\" she said. \"That's my thing.\"\nAt the HBO f\u00EAte, Veep's Anna Chlumsky indicated that her chicken potpie is also \"a crowd-pleaser.\" And no passed foods, she said. \"My place isn't really that big. I just put it all out on a table and say, \u2018Go for it.'\"\nSeated for dinner at the Beverly Hilton for the ADCOLOR awards on Saturday, Garcelle Beauvais spoke of her native country. \"I cook Haitian dishes,\" she said. \"There is a pork called griot. You boil it for hours, then season it, add onions, and put it in the oven. It's unbelievable\u2014tender and juicy with rice and beans and plantains.\"\nDuring Variety's Women in Film event, Twilight beauty Nikki Reed shared her specialty for holiday parties, a dark chocolate raspberry bark. \"It takes less than two minutes of prep time,\" she noted. \"You put fresh raspberries on parchment paper, melt dark chocolate semisweet chips in the microwave, pour it over the raspberries, and put it in the freezer. It's amazing.\"\nAlso at the Women in Film party, Lisa Rinna suggested that she and husband Harry Hamlin (Mad Men) keep things low-key for company. \"Chips, salsa, and guacamole,\" she said. And for the main course, Rinna mentioned that Hamlin does something called linoleum chicken. \"The name came from the time he dropped the chicken on the floor.\"\nJon Voight, father of Angelina Jolie, noted at BAFTA that his preferred guests are his numerous grandchildren. \"I get stuff for sandwiches for the kids, so they can make their own,\" he said. \"That's fun for them. I try to think like a kid.\"\nIn keeping with her British upbringing, Jacqueline Bisset declared at the BAFTA event that she serves tea. \"I make scones, whipped cream, and serve strawberry jam. I do it quite a lot. It's a wonderful and easy way to have a bunch of people over, because everything is cold,\" Bisset said.\nTrue Blood's Carrie Preston hails from Macon, Georgia, and the actress told AD at the Women in Film party that she remains true to her roots. \"I'll do little Southern things, like cheese-grits quiche and sausage biscuits.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
