We have a work contact of Dhs and his wife coming for dinner on saturday evening. We went to them a few weeks ago and he cooked a fantastic meal and served a really impressive array of wines, champgane, ports and cheeses too.
Now we can do the wine and champagnes, that;'s fine.
I enjoy cooking but need some inspiration. I have loads of cook books - just need pointing in right direction.
She isn't a big meat eater apparantly.
I don't eat any meat, but I do eat fish. I don't do hot or spicy either. Oh, and I recently had an allergy to shell fish though (love it sadly).
He doesn't like apricots and isn't a big fish fan.
DH gets what he is given!
I am thinking that the main course will be fish based for me and the man's wife, and meat based for Dh and the man.
I know what I am doing for dessert as I perfected it last week and it was so delicious. I am doing Nigella's chilled lemon rice pudding. It is so lovely. It is quite rich though.
I am looking for a starter that I can prepare in advance or that literally takes minutes to throw together at the last minute.
And then two main courses (one fish, one meat) - again I don't want to be in the kitchen the whole time they are here. Things I can prepare in advance mainly is good :) Dh did say he fancied fillet steak maybe.
So, any ideas greatly appreciated - thank you :)
