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.

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

MENU No. 3 — The weekend

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

Menu No. 1 – They’re arriving at 7 pm. So am I.

Description

I imagined this menu for those evenings when you want to entertain simply, without turning the evening into a big, complicated affair.

A gentle, comforting starter, a full, family-style main course, followed by a fruity, creamy dessert with a touch of crunch: this menu is designed for a cosy dinner with close friends or family.

It's ideal during the week, when you don't have much time before guests arrive, but still want to serve a generous, well-organised home-cooked meal.

As always, the idea is to prepare as much as possible in advance so that you can enjoy the evening without running around at the last minute.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. This menu is very easy to prepare in advance: the soup, roasted vegetables, mousse and most of the gratin can be made the day before.
  2. On the day itself, all that remains is to heat up the starter, put the gratin in the oven and finish the dessert.
  3. In the Premium Area, you'll find full recipes, classic and Thermomix® versions, a detailed shopping list and a step-by-step battleplan.
  4. The menu also comes with a printable guest book, so you can keep a record of your meal, the people who attended, the menu served, the wines, the table and all the little details of the evening.
  1. Everything you see here is easy to prepare...

    But so that everything runs smoothly on the big day,
    we need a clear organisation.

    The complete menu, with exact quantities
    and the step-by-step plan
    can be found in the’Premium Area.

    You don't have to think about it - it's all taken care of.
