Having been set a challenge by MoneySupermarket to have a Big Night In for £50 since our wedding anniversary is in a few days time, I decided to cook up a right nice semi-posh Dinner Party for Two.
I kept everything simple, Baked Fig and Goat's Cheese with Parma ham, a few leaves and balsamic glaze. You can find the recipe here.
Next up was the Main Course;
Fillet Steak Bois Boudrin with Homemade Thick Cut Potato Wedges. The bois boudrin is so very easy to make, it literally takes 2 minutes and since it should be made in advance that's all the better for a no-fuss dinner party.
Oh by the way, we didn't eat the whole 12 portion cheesecake last night, but I expect without too much effort, Paul will finish most of that off today!
Prepare everything that can be prepared in advance, and that includes laying the table.
