Friday, we’re having a good friend and boss Kim, her hubby Rob and their daughter Chloé for a ‘thanks for the rides’ dinner (I generally catch a lift with her from work, since we live across the road from each other). Because their 8 year old will be joining us I decided not to make it tapas (although of all the kids I know, she would most likely like it, however, I think it might drag things out a bit long for a kid).
Hors D’oeuvres: Roasted Red Peppers with Sheeps Milk Feta and Balsamic Reduction
Amuse Bouche: Home made Chicken Liver Paté on a Crisp Garlic Toast with Parsimon Confit (the parsimon confit was a gift from Anone on Christmas Day)
Soup: Leak and Potato Soup with Gruyère Crème
Palatte Cleanser: Wine Gelée (although I will have to figure out something for the under 18 guest!)
Main: Paella
Pre Dessert: Kahlua Chocolate Shooter (this is a dessert I served to the adults while the younger guest enjoyed her dessert, so she could watch her movie!!)
Dessert: Apple Pudding with Caramel Sauce
