Middle Eastern Meal!
Posted: September 17, 2013 Filed under: Parties, Savoury | Tags: dishes, eastern, food, meal, middle, party Leave a commentGood things come to those who wait and I’m sorry I didn’t post this sooner but as I mentioned a few weeks ago I made a middle eastern meal for some friends of mine who came to stay! As with any good dinner party you need to spend time with your friends and not all your time in the kitchen so I tried to stick to things I could make in advance and used a combination of homemade dishes and ready made goodies! I made a Tabouleh salad myself and cooked halloumi and marinated chicken. I also made some homemade bab ganoush, an aubergine dip from Lebanon. You can easily recreate this feast at home using shop bought dips and salads. I also used a falafel mix that I bought from Waitrose. It made about 10 falafel for £1.10! I hope you like the images and if you want any information on the dishes just let me know!
Middle Eastern Meal…

Now I’m back in the UK I miss my friends from there so much! We now all live at different corners of the UK and it’s hard for us to meet up but this weekend we are doing just that and I’m planning on cooking a middle eastern feast for us all! I had a search on the internet for some inspirational ideas. This is what I came up with but I will be sure to share pictures of the food I actually make with you next week!
Time for Tea…

On the plus side I’m off to Spain in two weeks so expect lots of photos of Tapas 🙂 Last week it was my Grandma’s 86th birthday and we had a surprise tea party for her so I thought I’d share a few pictures of it with you! Some things were bought some were home made but I’m most proud of the lemon drizzle celebration cake I made for her birthday! I hope you like it!

No doubt about it. Tiny shots of beer, miniature burgers and cheese toasties? I’d eat the lot!
Cookie Canapé….
Posted: August 14, 2012 Filed under: Canapés | Tags: canape, cookie, food, milk, party 1 CommentHow cute are these cookie and milk canapés! Use tall shot glasses filled with milk and make homemade cookies, creating a hole in the cookies before baking. Thread onto a straw placed in the milk! A great idea for a baby shower or children’s birthday party!

I love to entertain friends with drinks and nibbles and dressing up the table is all part of the fun. Courtesy of Celebrations at Home (whose link can be found on my website page), here are some stunning Easter table setting ideas to get you in the mood for Spring!
PS. Absaloutely love the tiny Easter Egg Cookies on the edge of the coffee Mugs! So Gorgeous!
