Last night’s menu
Last night I served a five-course meal, just for fun. I’m not going to give you the recipes because I took them directly from books. I only publish recipes I’ve changed substantially.
So here goes:
Starters
-
Griddled Aubergine with Mint
Grilled Mushrooms with Mozzarella
Steamed Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Green Beans with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Lemon Juice (all from Jamie’s Italy)
Pasta course
-
Gnocchi di Ricotta e Salsa di Gorgonzola (from Complete Italian Cookery Course by Ursula Ferrigno)
Main Course
-
Manzo Brasato in Barolo – Beef Braised in Barolo (from Complete Italian Cookery Course by Ursula Ferrigno)
Stoved Salsify (from The Crank’s Vegetarian Bible by Nadine Abensur)
Fried Courgettes with Lemon and Anchovies (from Jamie’s Italy)
Cheese Course
-
Dolcellate
Gorgonzola
Provelone

Crikey! How long did all that take?
I’m impressed by your cookbook selections. What’s Pat Chapman’s Vegetable Curry Bible like?
I’ve just got into cooking vegetarian curries so that might be just the thing!

@ Leif
I spent best part of a day, including the shopping. I like doing that, BTW. It’s a day of complete indulgence away from business.
I don’t like Pat Chapman’s curry books at all, so I’d point you away from this one!
