The very first supper event :)

Last evening I held a very first private supper club for a couple guests and was a great success! :) I have been told that the food was amazing and delicious. The theme was Greek food with Greek songs in the background. It's just created an atmosphere to be away from rainy, miserable Glasgow for a short while.  Everything was homemade except bread and drinks.

So my menu included:

Starters

Mezze plate - Tzatziki, Hummus and Melitzanosalata(Aubergine salad)

Olives

Greek Salad

Main course

Chicken cooked in the oven with a mix of spices and served with Bulghur pilaf

Dessert 

Sutlac (Turkish style rice pudding) served with ice-cream

The wine that accompanied the meal was 'Retsina Kourtaki' Greek wine. It is clear, pale to golden-yellow in colour. A delicate aroma of pine is left on the nose with similar after taste in the mouth. One of the most well-known Greek wines in the UK and easy to find at the big supermarkets chains and at wine shops.

Normally finalising part of a Greek meal would be a coffee but as our guests didn't want to be awake for the rest of the night, they preferred to have a cup of green tea instead. But also they gave a try to a small shot of 'Tentura' which is a liqueur traditionally produced in Patras,Greece since the 15th century. It contains alcohol, water, sugar, and fermented essences of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and citrus fruits. It can also be added in espresso coffee, which is then called Caffe Corretto. 

So I am well satisfied for the success of the first event and excited for the future ones.
