today i cooked dinner for six people (although i thought there might be 8). the food, if i do say so myself was excellent (no photos as its probably a bit rude to photograph the dinner table with guests present).
the menu was:
roast chicken cooked in the bbq(sue does not eat pork) and slow roasted pork belly cooked in the oven served with the following side dishes - mashed potatoes, asparagus with olive oil/seeded mustard sauce, pureed peas, scallops, roasted apple and roasted onion. I also made an apple juice reduction for the pork and a chicken gravy for the chicken (dah).
the sweets were a lemon and lime tart (N Moretti recipe from "Cooking Passions" - but i added the juice of 1 lime) and some mixed berries with icecream.
the only thing i didnt make/cook in some way was the icecream.
Everyone was happy and there was little leftover at the end - always a good sign
the food was washed down with a range of excellent red and white wines.
