It's also a good excuse to road test the recent slew of vegetarian curries I've made recently. However, I fail to take into account the essential disorganisation of my charming life partner, who has her dates wrong. Her face also suggests she's not that keen on cauliflower curry, or the projected aubergine curry...
The full menu was:
- Spiced Cauliflower Curry
- Indian-spiced Aubergine
- Simon Hopkinson Tomato Curry
- Vino tinto and blanco
- Good times
As it turns out, it's all fine. Lucy's skin has resumed its usual deathly indie-pallor after last week's lobstering in the Cornish sun, and even Ana has to admit she quite liked the aubergine curry. Of course she caveats it by pointing out that she'll never eat again, but a moral victory of sorts I think.
On a multi-dish cooking level, I was quite pleased I managed to turn out three dishes for three people at pretty much the same time. I put it up there with cooking for eight in Italy, and my last multi-curry extravaganza when Hannah Signy, Robert and Kornelius came to play.
