Had a couple of friends over a couple of weekends ago for dinner. Just had a chance to look at the pictures and I'm hungry all over again. It was one of the best dinners I've done in a long time. The food came out perfect and we all had so much fun it was over before we knew it.
Everything was from scratch, including the puff pastry and french rolls. I really believe my puff in the UK is much better than in the States, but I give all the credit to the hand-churned french butter I get at Borough Market. The rolls were the only disappointment, they were the right texture and a great crust, but I made them a little big.
