I first cooked for Louise back in January of this year so it was great to be invited back to cook for her and her husband Tony again. Amongst the guests were also some friends of theirs whom I have cooked for before so it was a great familiar evening. The occasion was a get together of friends for Christmas and as always the atmosphere was great. I had a choice of two starters and two mains with a "Trio of desserts" to finish off. Scallops are a big favourite and are a pleasure to cook, with most of the guests choosing this to start. It was no surprise when Louise asked me to cook a beef Wellington which went down really well back in January. I have done many different desserts but find that offering a selection of three smaller choices has gone down really well for many dinner parties and offers a wow factor, with differences in flavours, colours and textures.
I had great feed back from the evening and it was great to be invited to join everyone for a drink at the end of the evening.
