Miss 9's First Dinner Party

Yesterday afternoon Miss 9, with the help of a friend, cooked a dinner party for us ...

Here's the menu:



And this is what the table looked like with all the food laid out. Miss 9 is in the back of the photo:



The food was excellent. Even Miss 7 tried EVERYTHING and especially loved the Paprika Chicken.

I really liked the Bread Sauce with the vegetables (and everything else), and I'm not a fan of sauces.

Dessert was fantasic - must get her to make those tartletts again! I'll post the recipe on my blog too when I get it off the chef.

Unfortunately, after a morning of Little Athletics, an afternoon of cooking - Miss 9 was actually too tired to eat much :(

She looks proud as punch! Good for her! It's great she's learning to cook at a young age. Too many of my daughter's friends think that cooking is something that Mom and Dad do.

Congrats to her! I know she made you proud! Does she know she's gonna get to cook a couple of nights a week yet :-)

Well done, to Miss 9. The menu sounds splendid. Preparing a special meal is one of the most loving things a person can do for others, and it sounds like she's starting early on this warm, wonderful art of cooking. Congratulations to her, and I'm a little envious!

Not bad. May I ask what 'bread sauce' is?

Thanks for stopping by guys.

Berys you wouldn't believe how much they've grown up - maturity and size-wise.

DB kid's cooking is a bit of a fad at the moment - with Junior Masterchef on TV currently. I think it's great that kids are taking an interest in preparing food rather than just buying take-aways.

Jim she wants to cook from scratch every night - but unfortunately my work schedule doesn't allow for that (nor her after-school activities).

phlegmy thanks for that. She is very proud (and rightly so) of her efforts.

Suldog this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_sauce ... i'm not exactly sure what went into this particular version, but it was delicious.

That's fantastic! Congratulations to her and her assistant chef!

I hope there were enough leftovers for Miss 9 to sample at her leisure!
