Party Dish needed

Spirit_2

DD has invited family and friends over to celebrate her birthday - but sadly the chief cook and bottlewasher (me) is feeling bit inspirationless in terms of what to cook. I would prefer a couple of hot dishes - one vegetarian option. Catering for 14 for Saturday night and would like to prepare in advance or early in the day.


Drinks ideas also welcome!

How about chilli made with quorn for the veggie dish?

how about doing a few types of curry, serving with puppodoms, naan bread, dips etc

or go italian, do a lasagne, a pasta bake and you could do some bruschettas, olives, antipasti, focaccia, garlic bread and a big salad

or have a sauage and mash night, get a few different types of sausages (including veggie), big pots of mash (plain, cheesy, roast onion, etc) loads of good tasty gravy and bobs your uncle!

I would go for the curry and rice option.

A mild curry like a chicken korma and a spicier curry like a beef madras or chicken tikka masala. Then a veg curry as well.
Bowls of basmati rice, naan bread and sambals, raita, coconut, chutney and sliced banana.
Go for a mango sorbet or a coconut icecream for a cooling dessert.
