Anniversary dinner

January 14th is a very auspicious day for me. Not only was yesterday my three-year anniversary of moving to Amsterdam, but it also marked ten years since I first consumated my second greatest passion. Choice of words was significant… err-hem.

To celebrate, I invited my four best girl-friends over for bubbles, gossip and a rather ambitious five-course dinner… I realise this is vanity, but I couldn’t let such a culinary extravaganza pass by without a slightly self-indulgent blog entry to record it:

Tuna, mango and avocado ceviche with chilli and coriander

PS. Thanks to Andrea for the photos… as always, she is a far better photographer than I am!
