Thanksgiving dinner, our alternative option...

This is an alternative suggestion to the traditional turkey dinner for busy people in the city… When you work full time, where do you find time to spend 6 hours in the kitchen preparing dinner on a weekday knowing that Thanksgiving is not a public holiday in the UK. Amani normally hosts a Thanksgiving dinner every year, it was hard to convince her to give up the turkey idea … but in the end she realized that cooking turkey on a Thursday night wasn’t going to happen … So instead we went for the simple but tasty option... Did anyone say CHEEEEEEEEEESE? In 15 mins of preparation you have a fabulous feast that not only looks great but tastes absolutely delicious!

Amani's mum brought a range of different cheeses from Paris, including some of our favorites: Comte, Camembert, Roquefort, Crotin de Chavignol, Epoisse, Cantal and fresh goat cheese...and the best baguettes in the WORLD ... no, I'm not exaggerating, the Pichard is to die for and their recipe is a well kept secret …. And to add to our delicious selection, Maria brought some Jamon Iberico from Madrid … yummy!

A massive thanks to Amani’s mum for bringing us a taste of France right here at home in London.
