To welcome: Creamy truffle mushroom soup
To start: Sweet miso salmon. This is actually a photo from my very first commune, I forgot to take a picture last night.
To cleanse the palate: Homemade lemon sorbet with mint
Also made this for the first time. Unfortunately, I don’t have an ice-cream maker, so freezing and refreezing was the way to go. They came out melting a little too quickly, so the technique definitely needs some perfecting…
To follow: Seven hour roasted leg of lamb, served with potato strips
mama’s traditional prawn curry
tangy mango dahl (lentils)
By request (One of my guests was a vegetarian):
creamed spinach on linguini with fried egg and truffle oil
to digest: homemade Mint tea
Brought out our Turkish teacups last night – haven’t used them in years! I bought these in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar way back in 2001.
To sweeten: gulab jamoon – served with syrup to taste
