Another dinner has come and past! Just wanted to let you know what we did for a good friend of mines 30th birthday. Myself and his finance coluded to make this a great surprise for him with close friends. She wanted a "man" meal for him, so I chose to slow cook every course to maximise flavor and to produce intensely flavored, savoury dishes.
