Don’t Cook this Valentines – Make Love!

Written by Viella

Happy Valentines!

If you’re still wondering how to make your valentines evening special, I say don’t cook – make love! Food can be an important part of a relationship, so for this valentines why not create a cheese and meats melange and celebrate your evening with the one you love sharing from the same plate. Hang up your apron and instead create a wonderful platter of your favorite cheese and charcuterie, add some bread and crackers, fruits, jams, honey, mustard, nuts – whatever floats your boat.  All you’ll need to add is your favorite wine and chocolates for later… Have fun.

Italian Country Chicken

Written by Viella

Have your butcher chop you up a chicken and make this delightful family dish.  It’s a palate satisfier, which craves accompaniments such as bread and wine.  I put it together with some quinoa, and I’m very pleased to say its a keeper.  This Italian country chicken splendor will definitely be one of my go to meals when I have a crowd visiting.

A solid meal for wintry nights. This curried lamb dish is a variation of the traditional curry goat.  Its a rib sticking crowd pleaser and voted #1 by my friends and family.  

You’ll need to put the time in to create the dish, as cooking time is approx. two hours, but its well worth it. Enjoy!
