Carluccios
A Tuscan evening at Carluccios in St Albans
Started with canapes - shown here is rare roast beef, basil and parmesan on crostini
Followed by a plate of Tuscan meats with an excellent Morellino di Scansano
Pancetta con cavolo - belly pork with cabbage and a glass of Chianti
Zuccotto for dessert
Vin Santo and Cantucci to finish
An excellent evening - they do them roughly every 6 months, and we'd definitely go again

Chinese feast
Started with sort of wontons. Mixed pork mince, prawns, ginger, cornflour, spring onions, dry sherry and soy sauce together.
Struggled to buy wonton wrappers, so improvised with filo pastry
Which was fairly successful. It tasted fine, and held them together while they were steamed, but was a bit too light to take the weight once they were cooked.
Followed by prawns and french beans with chilli and garlic, with an egg fried rice.
