My latest dinner party was for some good friends of ours whom I am doing the wedding catering for this June. I tailored the menu to include some of their favourite dishes, the occasion tonight being Andy's brother's birthday. I took all the ingredients with me to their house along with all my cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. It was great to meet Andy's parents, his brother and his partner. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed and I was able to set up in the kitchen quite quickly.
Menu
Freshly baked tomato, basil and cheddar loaf,
Fresh herb butter.

Crispy shredded beef salad,
Julienne of spring onion, red pepper and carrot, sticky sweet chilli sauce.
x x x

x x x Trio of desserts,
White chocolate chip and fresh minted cheese cake,
Lemon brulee,

The evening went really well and I had plenty of great compliments from all of the guests so I went home at the end of the evening very pleased with my work.
