Without tasting it, I'd go for a 6 or a 7/10 because I'd end up feeling like a cube by the end of it.
ETA:
Starter: Caramlised onion and soft cheese puff pastry tarte (really sweet onions here, been cooked in butter slowly for an hour or so, then in the oven to melt the cheese on top and puff the pastry)
Main: Shepherds pie here. So many ways of making it taste different, but I'd go for slow cooked lean lamb mince with veggie and lamb stock for depth of flavour. Then a really smooth creamy mash, with lots of butter and either full fat milk or full on cream goodness and covered with grated cheese
Dessert: Pancakes, really thin light pancakes with icing sugar and lemon or golden syrup or a chocolate sauce as options
Maybe potato encrutes in stead of mash??:chin:
Do mine!
ETA: yes it is, I'm going to spend SO much time in here.
Any way choc mouse is my fave and it,s light.
Starter - Chicken Waldorf salad/Mozarella, basil and tomato salad.
Main - Steak au poivre/Chestnut filo parcels with rosti, carrots with sour cream and chives and string beans.
Pud - Chocolate mousse or poached pears.
Deep fried jalapenos with cheese (I've made these only once so far but they were superb)
Chicken Enchiladas
And a simple lemon cheesecake for desert.
And Tequila slammers for after dinner drinks.
Everything there is very easy to cook yet it can make you look like a top chef.
i love those! how do you make them?
Assorted Bruchetta - Aubergine and Mint, Caramelised Onions and Goats Cheese and Traditional Tomato.
Hunters Chicken Stew, with creamy rice and dressed greens
Raspberry Tart.
It is.
Cut the top off the chilis and deseed, this is not easy to do without damaging the chili's. I mix the seed with the cheese because they're the hottest part of the chile but you can throw them away if you want something milder. Stuff the chili with the greated cheese - it has to be grated fine.
Mix up 2 eggs with some milk. Roll the chili in the flour, then in the egg mixture and then in the flour again. Let the coating set. Then stick em in the frier at 350c until they're brown. Becareful not to over do them or more imortantly burn yourself. Fat friers are dangerous as fuck.
Easy. Though I did fuck up the first few.
I'm going to replace the Jalapenos with Scotch Bonnets for some serious heat next time.
Starter Fillet of beef carpachio with a rocket salad with a balsamic dressing, and parmesan tuiles.
main Chicken stuffed with bacon and cabbage served on a celeriac mash with a red wine reduction sauce.
desert My favourite home made banofee pie.
conch fritters with cranberry mayonaise
mixed-seafood couscous-paella, with courgettes
white chocolate profiteroles
guinep and mango
summut like that
Of the above dinner parties. I would go to Jarvey of Suburbia's, then run away after the starter, leggin it over to RubberSkin's for Chestnut filo parcels with rosti, carrots with sour cream and chives and string beans. Then I'd make my excuses and go home to some wicked white choc profiteroles. Yum, what a great party.
Main - Chicken
Dessert - Er. McFlurry or something.
I'm so unsophisticated it kills me.
:no: Its more than just following a recipe, its actually being able to create, and no, I firmly believe that just anybody cannot cook. You can do it exactly and still fuck it up, or you can start out doing something perfectly and then just get all confused and flustered and overwhelmed and it all turns like shit. Some people cannot and will never be able to cook.
