I’ve finally settled on my menus for my Hanukkah party and Xmas Eve and I have to say I’m quite pleased with both of them. Let’s see how they turn out.
Hanukkah Menu
– Latkes with apple sauce & sour cream
– A salad (I’ve asked Desiree to bring it)
– Brisket with Tzimmes (from The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas
-Yom Kippour Tajine (from The Great Book of Couscous
–Dreidle cake
I’m passing on the doughnuts (unless the cake does not turn out to look like a dreidle, in which case we’ll have a quick trip to the doughnut store).
Xmas Eve Menu
Now this is the one important meal for us, which is my biggest production of the year:
– Curried Coconut Soup with Chickpeas
–Flamishe with mixed greens in a champagne vinaigrette
–Standing Rib Roast with Porcini & Bacon Sauce served with roasted vegetables, noisette potatoes and yorkshire pudding.
–Gladys’ Peppermint Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream
