The man combed through the cooking bible and decided on the dinner menu.We had 3 kinds of dips- roasted red pepper, hummus and a white miso mayo. We thought that the pumpkin purée topped with yoghurt, coriander and lime could also be considered a dip. Heh.
There were baguette sliced and lightly toasted, and parboiled vegetables to go along with the dips. I hoped everyone had fun with the dipping and tasting of the different textures of food!
We had plenty of carbs on the menu. The man decided on a simple mushroom and porcini risotto and a fusilli with white asparagus and balsamic reduction. The fusilli was quite a hit. The balsamic reduction lent a world of difference to the taste when drizzled lightly over the white asparagus and fusilli.
When the plates were laid out, I giggled. The man could have been cooking for 20 people! In his defence, he was also cooking for our box lunches for the week and a couple of boxes to pack home for his bff's lovely mom.
The carnivores didn't care that tonight's menu was vegetarian. The rich flavors, crunch and varied textures were warmly welcomed by all.
Again, I present to you why I have such discerning tastebuds till I rather not eat if the food at restaurants isn't to my taste.

Yup! You are utterly spoilt for choice and taste!! ;)
a healthy and yet totally fulfilling meal. i am a carnivore but your dips and veges alone will fill me up, happily.
jomel: too lucky! heeee. i miss ur food too! i want to come up and disturb you and make u cook!
mistipurple: very healthy meal i think. but with all the dips- not so!
Of course, who wouldn't be spoilt? Homecooked is always best.
lilsnooze: i know! isn't it amazing how we never want to eat at home as a kid and now, as adults, we want to eat homecooked food. :)
