Anna Baudinet cooked:

  • Moroccan style broad bean salad with yoghurt and crunchy bits
  • Best lamb cutlets with special basil sauce
  • Chocolate clafoutis with caramelised oranges

Here's what Anna Baudinet and his guests have to say about the event:



Simon Chisholm says:
Awesome Anna!

Very enjoyable evening, and certainly lived up to the theme of "A dinner party to impress"!

I was dubious about the starter but was very pleasantly surprised - a winner!

Main course looked fantastic and tasted even better.

Dessert was the highlight of the evening with everybody having second helpings - very moist and very yummy!

The only 'downside' I can think of the whole evening was the beautiful and stylish Seventies-style brown crockery which seriously clashed with my outfit!!


Lisa Hutchison says:
Anna Baudinet's party

Anna certainly did impress with her herb-tastic main course and to die for pudding. She seemed very relaxed so the recipes were easy for her to follow and although she was busy at the start of the night preparing, she had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the dinner with us all.
Jamie may have some competition on his hands!
