Reef's 7 Course Italian Meal

Recommended Posts

This is the Cliff Notes version but here is the Sunday afternoon meal.

It's actually 9 courses but I combined a couple courses so it's served as a 7 course meal. It was supposed to be 10 courses but in the middle of all this I forgot to cook one of the courses - oops  by that time I was 1/2 a bottle of Prosecco down and well that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it - LOL. 

 

I used this guide for a full course Italian meal:

Here are a few "action" pictures

Well done Ckreef, Anniversary, important date? or just because.

It was the final challenge in a 7 month grill challenge series that was Covid-19 themed. This challenge was basically an attempt to recreate a multi course (3 course minimum) restaurant meal in a time when many people are still not going out to eat in restaurants. 

In the end it was a very relaxed, drawn out meal for me and Mrs skreef. Mrs skreef still has to do her challenge cook so we have another multi course meal coming in the near future.
