  Before you begin: 1. Easy to make, especially the dessert. It just requires planning. 2. Both dessert and main can be made in advance (1 day ahead). How many portions? Between 2 and 4. Your options: Level 3 "The Champion": Main and dessert Level 2 "The Charmer": Main only Level 1 "The Player": Dessert only What's for dinner? Single-serve beef Wellington along with parsnip puree, veal and chicken jus. Taste 10/10 Visuals 7/10 Difficulty - Technical (but manageable, requires preparation) Notes: This version comes out incredibly neat. It is excellent for its presentations and getting a much better medium-rare. The oven temp was 180C/356F at 25 min and 15 min rest. Each fillet was roughly 200g per portion.

Moussy cheesecake, butter biscuit base, and semi-cooked vanilla strawberries with sy...

Squid ink pizza dough served with rich tomato and mussel broth, mozzarella and parmesan, prawns, mussels, fried chilli, herb butter (parsley, white wine, and garlic), and pecorino cheese. Taste 8.5/10 My plating visuals 8/10 Before you begin! 1. Great pizza for a date plus movie night. 2. Everything can be prepped in advance. 3. A side salad is recommended. 4. Stay cute. For who is this? If you love seafood and pizza, this is the one. The squid ink dough gives it a nice earthy touch and balances the remaining ingredients, which are pretty rich. The herb butter adds an amazing touch and mouthfeel; that added white wine also comes through. In summary, this pizza is exciting and excellent, with a refreshing glass of white. How many portions? Makes 2 medium-sized pizzas. Tips for pizza cooking! Use parchment paper to easily transfer your pizza dough back and forth (whether to the oven or another station). Buy a pizza stone, which helps create a better crust. Squid ink pizza dough: - 333g 0...

The recipe ingredients are below. Taste 9/10 Visuals =?
