The last time I did this it was a success…..
The key is a menu that can be fully prepared the night before, leaving you free to serve beautiful food, and impress with your smooth talking without stressing in the kitchen.
I started with a crab and smoked salmon terrine – this is really easy to make, and can be kept in the fridge for at least a night, so you just have to serve it on date night. It is delicious.
Main – tuna steak, served with a (pre-made) chilli, ginger and garlic butter, and some purple sprouting, carrots and a couple of new potatoes – keep it light.
Dessert – I think I cheated and bought Gu ones…..It was in the bag so to speak by that point. Hope it goes well!
