Now.. most folks know im a big chick i dont hide it.. so here is a food related question..
Your trying to impress a lover/partners.. be it male or female.
What food would you do or use, to impress some one. ??? be it a date.. or dinner picnic and so on
A quality home cooked steak, with boiled baby potatoes and steamed peas, beans, brocoli and corn, fried onion and mushroom with mushroom sauce. Followed by deep dish apple crumble and double whipped cream. Nice bottle of quality champagne to go with it.
never used food to impress someone....
but one of my fav 'looks like its come from a restaurant' meals is sumac, garlic and lemon marinated chicken tenderloins on boiled tatos and fresh green beans with sumac yoghurt and garnished with cashews
its so simple but so yum and it looks pretty flash :P
well I have to say a memorable meal which still brings a smile to my face is .... my girl and I bought a kilo of fresh cooked prawns from a seafood co op then we found a small real bread shop and bought a crusty french stick then went to an IGA and got some olives . We then drove to the top of this massive lookout peeled the prawns and put it all together on the french stick broke it in half and ate it ...didnt speak for about half an hour just nice simple food great compnany and a stunning view still memorable 7 years later
Good grief it depends on the status of your guests. If we are wooing a sophisticated couple, then 'a la carte' cousine is in order and fortunately Mrs nomads_oz is a culinary whiz. A dumb ass couple, might get a boiled frankfurt from us LOL.
Seriously though, quality dining is a wonderful prelude to a delightful evening.
I always offer them breakfast! ;-)
A good marinated steak is great but I make a yummy chicken, bacon and spinich lasagna - a nice salad for greens and pull-apart bread.
for desert I make a Dutch cherry cheesecake
works for me!
