The brief
A 60th birthday dinner for six at home. The birthday girl describes herself as a fussy eater, so the menu had to suit her and still be something the rest of the family would love.
What we cooked
- Starter: twice-cooked soufflé
- Main: beef bourguignon with dauphinoise potatoes and fine green beans
- Dessert: lemon tart
On the night
Everyone was too full for dessert, so the lemon tart was saved for the following evening, and by all accounts it was worth the wait.
