I couldn’t think of a birthday present for my mom. So I offered to throw a dinner party for her and her siblings. We had a fabulous time, intoxicating ourselves with sangria, bacardi, red wine and beer. Now you can see where the alcoholic in me came from, it runs in the family. And to make it a more meaningful present, I decided to make everything from scratch!
The Starters
Mozzarella, Anchovies + Tomatoes
Marinated Red Peppers
Mushrooms cooked in Garlic
Fried Sweet Green Pepper (Pimientos)
Spinach with Apple + Pine Nuts
Lime Sorbet as mouth cleansers
The Mains
Warm Squid on Rocket
Grilled Supersize Oysters
Prawn + Bacon Brochettes
Clams in Tomato + White Wine
The Dessert
(Will come in another post because I am still hungover from all the cooking, eating and drinking! Stay tuned…)
