You forgot the Chicken Kiev for main course.:rotfl: That takes me back to the 1970s and my two kids did it for me and their dad as a surprise .They even made a menu up and decorated it.I still have the menu in my memory box packed away safely.

Seriously I like stuffed peppers .Cut red/green/pepers in half scoop out the seeds fill with savoury stuffing mixture and drizzle a little oil on the top and bung in the oven for about half an hour to cook. serve with a little rocket salad and garlic bread. mmm makes me feel hungry
I also sprinkle a little paprika or coriander over the top to liven them up a bit I love spicy food ,wash it down with a very light white wine

I want to do a desert for sunday. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm thinking of something with berries in. Like blakberries, blueberries, raspberries.

Panna cotta but ignore the balsamic strawberries in that recipe and replace them with a fruit coulis.

I assume you're using frozen berries - coulis is the best use for them

Put a key ingredient in, then click on Starters & Nibbles, then search and a load of suggestions come up, courtesy of Waitrose food magazine. There are other websites that do the same thing.

smoked mackerel, natural yoghurt and lemon juice whizzed together makes a yummy pate - rich in omega 3 too!

Mushrooms - remove stalks and stuff with a mixture of breadcrumbs, crushed garlic, butter, cracked black pepper and parmesan. Put in ramekins (or one large dish) and sprinkle with extra parmesan. Bake in hot oven and serve with crusty bread.

Izzy - are you sure it's brie that's used in tricolore? Mozzarella would make more sense

Further to Noozan's suggestion - this works best with the big flat mushrooms. A couple of years ago I had a friend from abroad in town for the week and we dined out every night on one of the "2 courses for £5" offers from the Times. I had the same stuffed-mushroom starter on two different nights in 2 different branches of Caffe Uno. One restaurant did one big mushroom; the other did lots of little ones. The first was infinitely better.

Baked Brie fondue - you need a whole brie in a wooden box. Take it out of the wrapper, poke a few bits of garlic & rosemary through the skin & put it back in the box. Bake for about 30 mins until it's all gooey & runny, then serve with bread for dunking. One small cheese serves 2-3 people.
