Yes - I am finally having people around to supper again. A motley crew - which has just acquired a couple of vegetarians. I had this idea of entertaining - thought we might just be able to afford it - but am, of necessity, making it a very simple meal.
We will probably be eating:
Some sort of veggie nibbles - not sure what.
Caponata with focaccia.
Chicken & prunes, a veggie thing (some sort of twice baked souffle?), some extra starch (rice/bulgar), a nice veg. like zucchini scapece... lots of salad (ME chopped salad probably with lots of herbs)
Tarte tatin (may have to do 2 as there will be 12 of us) - with home made ice cream or creme caramel? Or perhaps a giant creme brulee - "the charter"
Cheese and bics and walnut bread? Or buy a baguette...
Aubergines are very seasonal - so a point for that, home-made bread gets a point, or two, the main course is fairly economical - and the tarte tatin will use our own apples. So, as long as we have a plentiful supply of wine - and I don't drink too much... all should be well.
