A Woodland Meal


Last Friday I prepared a 3-course meal for my mum and Jack. The theme ‘Woodland’ inspired the look of the food and table. I didn’t have a budget or much time as it was just a fun little meal but the two of them loved it and were impressed by how much my cooking has improved!
 I bought some fresh lavender and this scented the entire room.
 Vegetarian cooking is usually very inspired by nature so the forest, fresh, natural aspects were already in the colours and ingredients. I LOVE sweet potato so made patties that were then fried and put in a toasted bun with avocado and garlic hummus. The desert was a wild blueberry tart, which contained mascarpone cheese and gingernut biscuits! I found the recipe here  http://www.versesfrommykitchen.com/2013/07/blueberry-mascarpone-tartlets.html
 and it was very easy to follow. Sadly my tart was quite hard to cut and instead of perfectly formed slices, I presented a heap of blueberries, cream and crumbly base on the gold plates. Fortunately though the tart tasted lovely and this is really the result that’s important!
 These are images of Woodland themed parties that I found on pinterest.
