A couple of months ago my friend Patrizia and I decided to host a dinner party for some of our friends. P is a lawyer by trade but has done numerous cooking courses and has studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. She too has a passion for cooking and a love of entertaining. It took a few weeks before we could actually get together and plan the dinner, P being an international jet-setter and me having to go to Jamaica to get me student visa for FCI.
We finally managed to get together last week and started hashing out a menu for dinner. At first the intention was fine French dining. We would do an elegant, formal meal that combined top quality meats with rich complex sauces. After much debate, a final decision seemed impossible!.
