I’m having the family around for a Xmas Eve Barbecue. The menu is looking like this:

Grazing Platter

• Boursin style cheese (Made myself!)
• Kirima (A camembert style cheese)
• Kikorangi (Gorgonzola, by another name)
• Muscat raisins
• Dried mango
• Dried cranberries
• Cherries (Gorgeous, gorgeous red cherries. They commanded to be bought)
• Macadamias
• Cashews
• Crackers
• Baguettes

Then, for the main event..
Manuka smoked salmon (Cured with citrus)
Grilled mixed vegetables (Red onion, capsicum, broccoli)
Asparagus
Mushrooms with garlic oil
Rocket/Walnuts/Pear salad, with White truffle oil dressing

And for dessert..
Pavolva (It’s an Australasian thing. Like a cake sized meringue, with a marshmallowy center)
Orange blossom cream anglaise
Nectarine jelly
Brandy snap-style biscuits (Maybe.. depends if I run out of time..)

Photos will surely be taken as it all comes together, and will be posted tomorrow some time, most likely!
