Menu No. 11 – This afternoon, I’m going out with my friends … but I’m still having guests over this evening

Author: admin Courses: MENU IDEAS

Description

The first days of fine weather put you in the mood for lighter meals, long evenings in the garden and moments spent together around a beautifully laid table. That’s exactly the spirit of this early summer menu.

On the menu: a crispy starter with warm goat’s cheese, a chicken gratin with lemon, pesto and almonds served with green asparagus and parsley potatoes, followed by a classic Viennese café speciality with a light strawberry cream.

This menu also has another advantage: it lends itself particularly well to planning ahead. Most of the preparation can be done the day before, or even several days in advance. On the day itself, there are just a few simple finishing touches to take care of, allowing you to enjoy your guests’ company to the full without spending the evening in the kitchen.

As always, you’ll also find a comprehensive shopping list and a detailed step-by-step guide to help you prepare this dinner.

Ingredients

Starter – Crispy tartlets with warm goat’s cheese
Main course – Chicken breast au gratin with lemon, pesto, herbs and almonds, served with green asparagus with cherry tomatoes and lemon, and parsley potatoes
Dessert – The Viennese Cardinal’s Cloud

Instructions

In this menu Premium, you’ll find a comprehensive step-by-step guide, including what needs to be prepared several days in advance, the set-up, the actual timing on the day itself, as well as my detailed plan of action for pulling it all off in a home kitchen.
As with all my AddC menus, we've thought of everything so that each item arrives at the table at the right time, hot, ready and stress-free, leaving you to enjoy your guests to the full.
This menu is particularly handy when you want to entertain without being tied to the kitchen all day. Much of the preparation can be done in advance: the dessert, the tartlets, the poultry, the side dishes… On the day itself, all that’s left is to put the finishing touches to everything.
Everything you see here is easy to prepare...
But to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the big day, you need a clear plan.
The full menu, exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found in the’Premium Area.
You don't have to think about it - it's all taken care of.
