Jenny is a food blogger and lives in Dorset – She describes herself as “a 50-something disabled Mum trying to get by as best she can with what is available. I thoroughly enjoy sharing recipes & ideas through my blog with those who are interested in cooking good food on an elastic budget and more importantly, for pleasure.”
Jenny’s Supper Menu
Starter
Herby Chicken Liver Pots with Melba Toast
Main Course
Green Salad
Dessert
Almond & Elderflower Cookies
I’ve been referring to this dinner party menu as an “Easy Supper Party”, largely because the greater part of the courses can be made well in advance. The starter, the couscous and the entire dessert are all recommended as being made in advance, and even the salmon parcels can be made up ready for baking. For me, this is an essential for any dinner party. As a disabled Mum, any way of easing the inevitable stress brought about by needing to feed numbers of people, is a very good thing!
When I think about this supper party, I envisage a property on the rugged Cornish coast, with a large veranda suitable for a big old dining table surrounded by comfy chairs. Candles are on the table, along with several bottles of sparkling wine and everyone is relaxed and just enjoying the food along with the scenery. Bliss!

Beetroot Couscous (Jenny’s recipe)
he Dessert is another BBC Good Food recipe, whereas the biscuits are my adaptation of a basic cookie recipe given by Rachel Allen in “Bake”. However, I’m sure you could find that basic recipe just about anywhere, so I’m not sure any copyright would apply in this case.
