I
don't often do dinner parties – and when I do I have a habit of wildly
over-catering. So this time I was
determined to do something easy with almost no cooking involved.
And
even given that, it still took about the same amount of time as if I'd cooked
something simple. And I still had much
too much food. A work in progress!
Here's
the menu:
Dinner rolls and crostinis with 2
Dips
(Chimichurris on Hummus and Roasted capsicum w cashews & parmesan)
***
Peking roast duck (bought from a specialty
store and chopped up by them – I bought it the day before which was a mistake –
should have bought it just a couple of hours before)
Cold
roast chicken (cooked by me the day
before and cut up into bits) served with rocket
Sliced tomatoes with onion and oil
Aioli Potato Bacon salad (from supermarket) –
checked seasoning and added dill garnish
Sliced
champagne ham (on lettuce)
Smoked salmon platter with olives, stuffed
peppers etc
Smoked Chicken pasta salad (bought) with added
chicken, seasoning and herbs on top
Green salad (not strictly all green but at least made by me)
***
Cheesecake
– berry swirl – bought
So
would you have enjoyed the food???
Well I am a vegetarian, but I do see a few foods there I would have liked. Especially the cheese cake! That's my favorite dessert.
