A pre Christmas dinner party at mine last night. Surprisingly I feel really seedy, surprising because I didn't really drink all that much. Odd.
Spent the afternoon creating some delectable delights.
Set the table
Then cook
Sauteed scallops salad with a chilli, ginger and orange glaze
Crispy chicken with fennel, cummin and cinnamon served with cous cous, preserved lemon and a vodka reduction.
:insert pic here: well I would if I had remembered to take one.
Chocolate and marshmallow mousse with fresh fruit

Hey that reminds me, I used your recipe for the thai salad dressing, with the soy, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger and a red chilli and it was freaking divine. I didn't do the duck bit, just had salad leaves with asparagus, sugar snap peas (which were slightly fried in a pan with a bit of olive oil and lime juice) and red onion, but that dressing was so moreish we got some bread to mop it up with when we ran out of salad. So thanks for the recipe!
Glad you liked the duck dressing, grilled asparagus ey? I'll have to give that a go
