A feast!! As my Mum was visiting I decided to go all out and make a Donna Hay three course meal.
The Haloumi Baked in Vine Leaves was tasty but I didn't feel the haloumi was as nice as it is when lightly fried. Baking it left it a bit squeaky to eat! The flavours of fresh oregano, garlic and lemon juice were nice and I do love haloumi! Vine leaves can be found in most delis.

The Beef and Black Bean was a nice Asian twist for a beef roast. The beef was coated in salted black beans (found in Asian supermarket), garlic and ginger before being roasted. I know many will think I overcooked my beef but I am a die hard "well done" girl and as I had used a beautiful piece of MSA rib fillet it was still very tender. It was served with Gai Larn (Chinese Broccoli) and a black bean sauce (the marinade with added soy sauce). It was quite a salty dish but had nice flavours. I served it with steamed Jasmine rice.

The Apple Puddings with Butterscotch Sauce were delicious!! True autumn comfort food. We were rather full after the first two courses but all managed to finish them off. Easy to make and worth making.
