Design Cuisine Menus
Need to design a menu, help needed!?
Right, i need to design a menu for a ‘special friend’ to cook for this weekend. lol. She isn’t very fussy but has very things she specifically likes. I have lots of options but can’t seem to find the dishes which fit exactly! She enjoys cheese, vegetables, Mediterranean cuisine, pasta etc but no sweets. This is have resolved by going to a cheese shop called ‘Cheese Hamlet’ in Manchester which she likes where i plan to present an after dinner meal of 3 or 4 well chosen cheeses with a Selection of olives, suitable fruit and breads. But the starter and main have me at an end, as the things i have seen have either been too simple to seem ‘good enough’ or too time consuming so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas. She is an accomplished cook herself so she will be aware if i take any short cuts. Thank you all in advance. I am just very indecisive and this meal means a lot so i want it to be perfect. Also any wine pairings would also be HEAVILY appreciated!
here are some ideas – including drinks
