Private Dinner Party, Emma, Jimmy and Friends, Bournemouth
This weekend was a long awaited return visit to cater for Emma and Jimmy in Bournemouth. After having been private chef for Emma at her sister's private dinner/hen party in Lymington a few years back it was a pleasure to cook for everyone for a different celebration as this time around we were helping commemorate Jimmy's birthday at their lovely home in Dorset. On the evening, we served up three delicious courses with some delicious canapes to start the evening off. There were plenty of gin cocktails going around with the canapes and they continued on through each course! Going particularly well with the gin and juniper cured salmon, I think I had a favourite dish of the day :) Absolutely fabulous evening in Bournemouth, adding to our repertoire of super dinner parties!
