Six for Dinner...

Well actually it was seven but who's counting. Every now and again I throw a dinner party just to test some of my cooking skill's out on some poor lucky people, on the menu this time round was:

Mushroom And Lemon Soup
 Melanzane Parmigiana with a crisp Salad
Lemon Tart with Creme Fraiche
Six Cheeses and Biscuits

All pretty easy to put together and and I have to say the results spoke for themselves, empty plates all round and every dish finished off. The Melanzane came from the BBC Goodfood Website, it was an easy to follow recipe and put together in under 30 minutes, the Lemon Tart also came from the same site, again easy to make, though never having made one before I was watching it like a hawk through the oven door. It seems everyone had a good time and I think we ended up drinking about five bottles of wine along with numerous gin & tonics. A good evening, now all I have to do is plan what to make for the next one.
