Destressing dinner
Karly is organizing a conference and it kicks off tomorrow. To help her relax before it all, I offered to cook a fancy meal. Here's the menu:
It turned out pretty well. The mash was disappointing (I blame Jamie Oliver). The soup was tasty. The pumpkin was the epitome of deliciousness-is-inversely-proportional-to-healthiness. Honeycomb was fun to make and came out nicely (It actually tastes like honey!)
I can provide recipes if anyone is interested.
- (Starter) Roast tomato and mint soup
- (Mains) Pan-fried chicken with a polenta crust, roast maple pumpkin slices and a potato-and-sweetcorn mash.
- (Dessert) Fig, honey and ginger icecream, with baked caramelized wonton sails and a chunk of homemade honeycomb.
