Menu No. 12 – We’ve got a barbecue planned … but I fancy surprising my guests with a side dish that’s a bit out of the ordinary
Description
Entertaining in the summer should be a pleasure… not a source of stress.
You’ll find thousands of free recipes online. But imagining a complete, well-balanced dinner, tried and tested from start to finish and designed to be prepared in advance… that’s another story.
That’s exactly what I’m offering you with this menu.
This dinner was inspired by a real-life experience. I’d deliberately chosen recipes that could almost all be prepared in advance. It turned out to be an excellent decision, as the day didn’t go quite as planned after all. Despite several last-minute hiccups, all I had left to do was plate up the starter, reheat the timballo and cook the skewers. This meant I was able to enjoy my guests’ company to the full, rather than spending the evening in the kitchen.
In terms of flavours, this menu takes you on a journey through several regions of Italy. It begins in Puglia with whipped burrata served with heirloom tomatoes and an olive gremolata. The main course showcases a genuine Anelletti timbale A Sicilian speciality that I discovered at a wedding in Sicily and which my guests regularly ask me to make. The meal ends with delicate summer tartlets filled with fresh fruit, inspired by the Austrian pastries of my childhood.
Like all the Premium menus from Aux délices de Caroline, this one has been devised, cooked and tested in a home kitchen. You’ll receive detailed recipes, a shopping list, a preparation schedule and all my organisational tips, so that, on the big day, all you’ll have to do is enjoy spending time with your guests.
