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

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

For each menu: the recipes, the shopping list and my plan of action to organise everything in advance.
