As you know we all enjoy cooking and baking in our house so
when Finish asked me to describe my ultimate dinner party I had lots of food
ideas running through my head. Whilst I don’t organise many dinner parties we
do try and cook a variety of different foods and are always trying out new
recipes, some are great and others have a cross put in the top corner as a
family note not to bother with that recipe again!
So here are my suggestions for food at my dinner party.
Starter - Paté
Main Course - Beef Wellington with roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and braised red cabbage
Dessert - Bakewell tart with homemade custard or ice - cream
Homemade paté is actually
very easy to make and much cheaper than shop bought paté – it is also much
nicer! Home made cranberry sauce and a
warm bread roll are the perfect accompaniments. I made this at Christmas and everyone enjoyed it.
We eat a lot of beef and Beef Wellington is a real treat. It takes time to make but it really is worth it. We are
lucky as we have a couple of excellent butchers and farm shops nearby so we can
always buy delicious meat. I do cheat and use ready made puff pastry as it is
just so much easier than making your own. With the Beef Wellington I would
serve cauliflower cheese, braised red cabbage and roast potatoes.
For pudding you can’t go wrong with a Bakewell Tart. I
always make it in a large tin in the hope some will be left over for the
following day but this never seems to happen! I serve it with either custard or
home made ice cream.
After all that cooking I am really glad we have a dishwasher
to wash all the dishes. I have tried different brands of dishwasher tablets over
the years however I have found that Finish takes care of your dishes much more
than other brands. Glasses come out sparkling and I have never had any glasses
go cloudy and scratched like some of my friends have. Finish have an article on their website about cloudy glasses and what causes it, you can read about it here.
What would be your suggestions for food at your ultimate dinner party?
