I’m not that good either… I like trying different things though, its a bit scary when its for other than family, especially when the other two women who will be eating are brilliant cooks, one of them even makes her own sugar baskets to serve dessert in… scary stuff!!
omg, I think I have died and gone to heaven! Gonna try to do it myself! But, wondering how many packs of maltesers I should buy, cos not sure how many would actually make it into the cooking! :lol:
ok, here goes:
starter: Asparagus (3-4 per person) topped with a poached egg, some melted butter and parmesan and black pepper.
main course: Beef in beer – Deilia Smith (can make before, and always tastes better when re-heated), with mash or baked potatoes, red cabbage and green beans.
pudding: peeled and halved grapes w. fromage frais and whipped cream mixed altogether, topped with loads of demerara sugar, in a bowl and put in fridge about 3hrs beforehand – made before too. Looks really pretty.
This is a fail-safe menu I do a lot – this is because all of it, bar the starter can be cooked well in advance. Tis only the starter that needs to be cooked, whilst they having drinkie poos!
Over to you……………..I have copied the last menu tho, gonna give that a bash :lol:

Just nip a small tip at the top off with a sharp knife and the skin comes off really easily – do them at room temperature – obviously you mix it all up in a bowl and put the sugar on the top before putting in the fridge – it looks really fab when you bring it to the table. Because of the colour the sugar is, I use green seedless grapes. It seems looks a bit like a créme brolée – ummmmm yummy – bit jealous actually! lol
Can I come? :lol:
