We missed Janet, Julie and Justine this evening. Debrah had suggested that we went for the country specific books, which led to an eclectic mixture for the meal. Some were easy to identify the country, others a bit harder! It was lovely to have a pre birthday get together with Debrah and Jerry.

Starters

Karen – Turmeric marinated chicken in lime leaves (India)

Tracey – Stir fried duck in lettuce leaves

Mains

Debrah – Chicken with orange, fennel and za’atar

Jane – Fish in caramel sauce (Vietnam) Looked extremely unappetising – tasted a bit better than the appearance would suggest! The fish broke up dramatically in cooking.

Puddings

Philip – Galaktoboureko with orange syrup

Sue – German apple cake (Germany)
