Private Dinner Party, Mark, Hannah and Family, Shaftesbury, Dorset,



It was a fabulous feast of titillating delights this Thursday as I served up Seven courses of delicious food in Shaftesbury. Cooking for Mark and Hannah has become a bit of a habit as we must be on Dinner Party no 6 after many successful events at their lovely home near Fleet. On this occasion, we were dining at Mark's Parents' beautiful home in Dorset, the kitchen being of bespoke design and a complete pleasure to work in! Being open plan it was great to cook and plate up in front of everyone and join in on jolly conversation. Mark and Hannah built their personal menu from my site, starting with some delectable little canapes, enjoyed in the lounge. Then at the table, we started off with a warming Thai inspired Chilli and Ginger Broth with a light Vegetable Dumpling. Making their way through a culinary journey over a further 5 courses before rounding off with a trio of Desserts made for a perfect evening, full of fantastic food enjoyed in convivial company.
