Tuesday: Tonight is quiz night. I need to make something that can be prepared in advance and then easily reheated when we get home, but I don't want to serve something too nice as it won't be appreciated after a few drinks have been consumed... I haven't used my slow cooker in a while, so I I might throw together a casserole and let it do all the hard work.
Wednesday: We're trying to up our intake of oily fish during the week. Last week we had smoked mackerel with puy lentils and a green salad which was delicious. This time I might make some light mackerel fish cakes and serve them with sweet potato chips and a cress and rocket salad.
Thursday: Tonight I'm thinking of making either a meatloaf with tomato passata and truffle mash, or a lamb and date tagine with pomegranate cous cous. Both are equally gorgeous, but the tagine requires a bit more effort. I'll have to see how I feel...
Friday: We'll either go to the Vietnamese if we're planning on going to the cinema, or else I'll cook something. I'd like to make some more ravioli soon. Last time was a very stressful experience, but it was worth it in the end. If I'm feeling adventurous I might make two fillings- wild mushroom and ricotta, and spinach with Parma ham.
Saturday: Fish day! If I'm organised enough today, I'm going to try out something a bit more exotic than I usually do on a Saturday. Maybe some monkfish with a nice garnish and some veg.
Sunday: Hopefully Borough Market will have some pheasant this weekend. If they do, I'm going to serve it with a spiced plum sauce and seasonal vegetables. I'm also going to start making cocktails to pair with my desserts, so I'll buy some nice fruit, make a syrup with it, and mix it with spirits. Dessert will be chocolately this weekend, maybe a chocolate and pear tart.
