British Summertime Themed Dinner Party
I'm throwing a dinner party on Monday for us and a couple of good friends. It'll be a semi formal occasion and I usually cook about 10 courses of stupidly over-complicated and gourmet veggie food. I also tend to leave it until the last minute to plan my menu. I must enjoy pressure I guess haha. I was just trying to find some inspiration and ideas that went along with the theme and I know a lot of you baking-types are also into cooking. Any ideas/inspiration would be much appreciated.
I still need a main course and a dessert. I'll serve some sort of palate cleanser in between the two.
are in season so a nice sorbet as the palate cleasnser would be nice so I would think about a desert too since the palate is already clean with your sorbet. Since stone fruits and berries are in seasoin how about a stone fruit and mixed berry crisp for desert - thankfully easy and tasty with all the other stuff going on.
