Festive food with friends

One of the really lovely things about singledom is when you receive an impromptu invitation to share a meal with friends. You can pull your head out of the fridge or pantry and stop wondering "What will I eat tonight?". Last night was one such occasion when a dear friend took the opportunity to cook a recipe she'd been waiting to 'roadtest'.

The rain stopped for long enough to dash from car door to front door Inside, the Christmas music was playing, candles were burning and wine was chilling. Then, cous cous with delicious toasted pistachios, coriander and fresh baby beets with succulent Moroccan Chicken followed by Berry Brulee. SO delicious and it tasted even better because it was prepared by someone else!

Can't wait for more experiences like this when the 'Come meet and Eat with Me' experience gets underway!

Oh, stumbled across this blog from the author of Cooking for One. It's American but makes for lovely reading. There's even a titbit of 'insider info' for those of you who have seen the film, 'Julie Julia'. Take a look.  Cooking for One..and other tales.
