I held a one on one cooking lesson for Heidi last year and so it was brilliant to be invited back to cook for Heidi and her friends for their belated Christmas Party Dinner. A fabulous menu made for a brilliant evening, accompanied with friendly and felicitous conversation in a welcoming atmosphere. Made to feel a big part of the evening it was a huge pleasure to cook for everyone in benevolent company with plenty of great positive feed back.
I love cooking with spices and with Asian influence so having the Monk Fish starter was the perfect Dinner Party Dish for me, giving the taste buds a good workout with the Sweet and Sour, Salty and Spicy Sauce, with Coconut, Chilli, Tamarind and Fresh Coriander. A light Raspberry Sorbet Palette cleanser then made way for one of my Favourite dishes of Pork Fillet Wellington. Utilising and serving two separate cuts of Pork with the Tenderloin and the slow roasted Belly makes for a real celebration of a beautiful meat, giving variety in texture and depth of flavour. An Enticing Platter of Delectable Desserts at the end of Meal was a great way to finish to the Dinner, giving a wow factor to what was an another amazing Dinner Party all round.
