Private Dinner Party, Trevor and Michelle Deacon, Birthday Celebration

May 27, 2015

"An Amazing night with amazing food" Trevor Deacon

I've cooked for Trevor and Michelle several times before and so it was a fantastic pleasure to have a return visit to cater a very special Birthday for Michelle. Having recently moved from Porchester to Petersfield, it was a change of venue but a brilliant new large kitchen to work from and having a little tour, I was extremely impressed with the open bar in the basement! :) With a warm welcome as always and a nice cup of coffee, I got unpacked and set up for the evening. We had an Asian theme through the main course which really went down well and gave me chance to show off, cooking all the parts of the Chicken with plenty of Chilli, Coconut, Coriander and Spice. We had 12 guests so I had the charming Roger to help me and the whole evening was a fantastic night.
