The January Loaves&Fishes Menu


It really is so hard to decide on a menu; But finally we have, after much cooking and eating. At the last supper all of the guests agreed on one thing: The portions were waaay massive man. So either everyone must be really really hungry or I have to try and control myself and acknowledge that not everyone will have spent the day out tilling fields and pulling calves. So here she is: This weekends January Blues Busting Menu.

Potato, herb & leek soup
Salad with goats cheese toast
Beef & Chorizo Stew with Root Mash & Horseradish Yorkshire Puddings
Sticky Toffee Pudding Cakes
Mendiants and homemade cookies
Tea & Coffee

So it all sounds basic enough but the devils in the detail! The root mash is an Ottolenghi recipe and would make an amazing maincourse just on it's own, I love it. It'll be a lovely eveningl and I can't wait to get started on it. I'll post some recipes on here after the event. One last word: The Sticky toffee puddings things are gorrrrrrrrrgeous. They're what cold whipped cream was made for!

  8. Lilly, that was another gorgeous menu. I hope you'll put up some of the recipes from it - and from the last supper club. I especially want the lamb pilaff, beetroot puree, stew and root mash. No pressure...x
