Carrying on where I left off …

in January and birthday gift ideas.

I said after the doorstep delivery of the birthday gift in January, where possible within current constraints, I'd continue to make stuff for gifts if they could be delivered safely.

It's my friend's birthday coming up soon and so I decided to bite the bullet and emailed her before I could change my mind … “I know I'm early but have an idea for your birthday. I wondered if you'd like me to cook a few treats which I could “doorstep” deliver? If it's a yes I can put together a couple of menus … let me know what you think”.

The same day a response … “That's such a lovely idea! What a lovely surprise and I look forward to seeing the menus”.

Here they are :

Menu 1

Individual Veggie Frittata with

a Balsamic Glaze


Arancini (stuffed with Taleggio cheese)

Alfredo Sauce


Tiramisu – a choice of lemon or orange -

no coffee at all!


OR


Menu 2

Cream Cheese & Cashew Nut Paté

with soda bread


Cheese, Potato and Onion pie

with coleslaw (using home-made mayo)


Flourless Chocolate Cake

with Raspberry Coulis
