French Martini

Makes 2 Martinis

60ml Vodka

40ml Chambord (raspberry Liqueur)

120ml Pineapple Juice

2 Pineapple wedges, to serve

Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in vodka, Chambord and pineapple juice and shake hard until it is frothy. Cheers!

TIP: You can freeze the pineapple juice you don’t use for next time if you don’t think you’ll drink it all before its ‘use by date’. I freeze 60ml blocks (one serving) and defrost the number I require the day I’m going to be making them.

Vietnamese Salad

I eat this almost every week of the year, sometimes all week! You can prepare all the veges and store them in small containers in the fridge, then put it together the morning you’re going to have it, all the hard work is done. Or you can make them on Sunday for the coming week, makes 4 serves – but take the dressing in a separate container to add just before you are going to eat it so it doesn’t go soggy. You can halve the recipe if you want to have something different a couple of days of the week. We usually make up two salads, 4 serves of this one and 4 serves of a different one (two each), for the week and have one ‘tuckshop’ day on Friday, to add a bit of variety to the week’s lunches!

Dinner Party

Classic French Dinner Party

Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two, or a dinner party for a group of friends and family. when setting the table for a fancy dinner party keep the table decoration to a minimum. Include an item that makes a good conversation piece (eg. an ornament you bought in France at a market, or a framed picture from your holiday in Paris). Add a beautiful bouquet of flowers, light the candles prior to the guests arriving so that they burn down to create a cozier atmosphere – remember less is more!
