A trip down memory lane for most with this lovely book. The recipes were universally easy to make, and all tasty and successful. And one of the starters provoked one of the funniest stories since the group started!

Starters

Andrew – Roasted tomato soup with a basil puree

Justine – Hot and sour pickled prawns

These tasted delicious, fortunately for Matt!

Mains

Janet – Chicken with sherry vinegar and tarragon sauce

Julie – Salmon with a Saffron couscous crust

Really tasty, served with a tomato and olive vinaigrette.

Sides

Debrah – Warm potato salad with lemon and chive vinaigrette

Philip – Oven roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary

Tracey – Roasted tomato salad

Puddings

Karen – Vanilla cream terrine with raspberries and black currant coulis

This looked so impressive, and tasted just as good – lots of people came back for seconds!

Jane – Rhubarb crumble ice cream

Having used this book so much back in the day, I can’t understand why I never made this, it was easy and delicious.
