THE MENUS IN MY PREMIUM AREA
If I were to host three dinner parties this autumn, these are the menus I’d choose…
Three opportunities to get together around a lovely table.
MENU No. 2 — A Thursday evening
What an idea! I’ve invited some friends round on Thursday evening for a proper dinner.
Crispy savoury puff pastry · Poultry with tarragon · Chocolate & orange
How about we finally took the time to entertain guests?
Pears, chanterelles & hazelnuts · Roast lamb · Autumn pavlova
MENU No. 15 — An evening with a difference
How about we do something a bit out of the ordinary tonight?
Autumn Cappuccino · Salmon in a golden coating · Chocolate & pear
For each menu: the recipes, the shopping list and my plan of action to organise everything in advance.
Your guests are seated.
You too.
Vegan Buddha Bowl
Description
Another recipe I loved when I was a student was Harvey Diamond's energy salad with its light dressing. It even converted my husband, who used to be averse to salads! For me, it's the ancestor of the Buddha Bowl: a complete meal in a single bowl. The Buddha Bowl combines grains, vegetables, plant-based proteins and sauce in a colourful, filling, healthy – and delicious – dish.

Preparation
1. Wash, dry and chop all the vegetables. Arrange all the ingredients attractively in a large bowl.
2. Prepare the dressing: place the garlic, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Leave to rest for at least 15 minutes. Pierce the garlic with a fork, whisk the dressing, then remove the garlic.
3. Pour the dressing over the Buddha Bowl just before serving.
