Going to Centre Parcs for my 30th with family. As I am a control freak quite organised I have been put in charge of food shopping. We're there four nights so four main meals needed. We are eating out for my birthday and one other night, leaving meal planning for two more.
I was thinking a roast for one night, and the first night having something I've made in advance and that can just be heated or cooked. There's 6 adults and my 2 year old DD to cater for. I'd quite like something a bit special/elaborate as it'll be the first night of holiday and I won't have seen my family for a month or so. Was thinking something that would go well with lots of wine as well.
Constraints are DH - no fish or mushroom based things (can have small bits of mushroom in), my mother - not too spicy.
I don't mind complicated or elaborate as long as it can be done in my kitchen before we go...
