Scalloped Potatoes
Scalloped potatoes: what can I say . . . . you know the movie Ratatouille? When the old food critic has a total flashback of his childhood? This is what scalloped potatoes does to me !!!
Thinly sliced potatoes cooked in milk with some parmesan cheese and a little bit of salt . . . as simple as that . . . but then soooo yummy !!
A dish for 4 people will be 8,00 Euro

Party Menu
Saturday evening I catered a stand up dinner party for about 30 adults and 10 kids ( age between 3 and 10 )
The menu was very simple but tasty:
I had on going trays of Salame Toscano and Salame Milanese, and Prosciutto Crudo with different kinds of bread and crackers and bread sticks.
Trays of bruschette made with tomato and mozzarella and garlic and basil, and trays with crostini made with tuscan sausage and stracchino warm from the oven were kept full.
The main dish was made of two different kinds of lasagna, one was the usual meat lasagna and the other was made with ricotta and spinach . . . . then there was a nice big bowl of pappa al pomodoro.
Then I served a fresh inslata mista and dessert: mignon pastry and Schiacciata alla Fiorentina "stuffed" with Chantilly creme . . . . decadent!!!
The kids ate pop-corn, chips, carrot sticks, celery sticks and hot dogs . . . . they all seemed happy with their little menu !
Of curse I brought my camera and was really meaning to take pictures . . . . . of course in real life . . . I was so busy working and preparing. . . that now we have no pictures !!
SORRY !!

SALMON FILLETS WITH FENNEL AND DILL
This is an extremely simple second course, all it is is a salmon fillet coated with parsley and fennel seeds and dill seeds.
All you have to do is put it in a hot oven ( 200° c) for 10 to 15 minutes . . . and dinner is ready !!

SHEPPARD'S PIE
This is my version – it probably is not the real recipe but this is what I like to call it!!
What I do is cook a fair amount of ground beef and dress it with a few herbs and spices, then I spread it on the bottom of an oven dish. I prepare some nice and rich mashed potatoes and spread them on top of the ground meat.
The ingredients here are ground beef (fresh) potatoes, onion, oil, parsley, milk, butter, spices (not hot)
