We cooked a couple of things, first course was a potato and leek soup, followed by a spinach and egg gratin. Both were served with fresh bread, either plain or toasted and cut into soldiers.
Can we see the recipes, I hear you say? Sure!

Melody - don't think mine would have been as good as the flash restaurant, but it was certainly yummy.
