Come Dine with Tweeps: Round 2
After a promising start and a bit of a hiatus, our little "Come Dine with Me" competition finally got to the halfway mark when I hosted round 2 earlier in January.
Being a food blogger staging a dinner party is a terrifying experience. You're supposed to know good food, you're expected to conjure up something pretty special and above all you're expected to do it all faultlessly.
Did I pull it off? Until we know the final scores I can't be sure, but clean plates and pleas for recipes are usually a good sign.
Starter: Coquille Sant Jacques
Main: Sirloin steak with a Chestnut, Madeira and Porcini sauce served with Soft Polenta
Pudding: Lemon Posset with Rosemary Shortbread
Conversation: Retro food, island living and 90s music
Food Highlights: Guests seemed to enjoy the pud the most with Abby exclaiming she was full but could happily eat a bathful of posset when she returned home.
Hopefully there won't be so much of a gap until round 3!
