A Farewell Feast
I had a sad week with the passing of a friend?s father. He was a good man and will be sorely missed.
Times like these require a very quick rally round and I was glad to be able to do my bit in terms of cooking for the wake. We decided on finger food so we wouldn?t need to worry about cutlery and plates.
A hasty and not so glamourous photo, but it was a very busy morning.
When cooking for others, I normally pore over my cookbooks for days and agonise over the right balance of food choices. Given that I didn?t have the luxury of time, and that I?m also at the pointy end of my studies, I decided to stick with tried and true favourites. With a few minor tweaks, you can turn things you might cook daily into something a little more special.
Here?s a rundown of what I cooked. I?d certainly do this again, but hopefully under happier circumstances. Moroccan Hommus
Tomato and Cashew Dip
Feta and Herb Dip
Crudités, and Quinoa and Spelt Crackers

Mini Quiche Lorraine
Thai Chicken Wonton Cups
Beef Rendang Pies

I added a heaped teaspoon of Moroccan spices and chopped coriander.
