    DD1 has to make a starter in her Fodd Tech, she's 14

    Most of them are doing soup or prawn cocktail, but she wants to do something a little different. I suggested making a pate?

    Any ideas?:confused:

  • A really easy starter is roasted large flat mushrooms. Take flat mushrooms, drizzle with olive oil and any herbs/ spices of your choice, bake for about 20 minutes in a medium oven. Serve on a bed of salad leaves/watercress/or rocket. Can slice partially through them and fan out a bit. Looks nice and my local Italian charges £3.95. I got the idea from them, and frequently do them at home. Never fails, but maybe not the sort of thing you're after.

  • I was going to suggest stuffed mushrooms too. Nice with crumbled feta and chopped olives too.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
  • How about a hummus with vegetable crudities. Could add extra lemon and coriander or maybe some grilled red pepper for a interesting twist to the hummus and some toasted pitta bread.
