So, this was our first experience entertaining in our new house. We were very excited to christen our house, so I wanted to create a really amazing menu for my friends. I hope that I succeeded - every ounce of food was devoured, so it seems that my friends enjoyed themselves, or at the least were hungry.
This was the menu...
Starters
Marinated feta
White Bean and Olive Dip
Fragrant Red Kidney Bean Dip
Feta, Ricotta and Pine Nut Dip
Main Meal
Slow Roasted Lamb with Spiced Butter

Crispy Chicken Breasts

Brown Sugar Butterfly Cakes with Raspberry Cream
Do in advance...
