4-course Italian dinner

Made this dinner for my tech guy with his wife who is back from Germany for Chinese New Year holidays . He gave me a set of J.A. HENCKELS INTERNATIONAL knives and a knife sharpener for my birthday this year, so I promised him that I would cook a proper meal for him with his knives. The menu: Starter - Mango avocado crab cake served with citrus salad dressed with toasted almond flakes; Main dishes - Pesto linguine with pan-fried bacon wrapped king prawns; roasted baby potatoes, pumpkin, baby swiss brown mushrooms and white onions in fresh Rosemary, Thyme, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and olive oil; Dessert - Jamie Oliver's Baked chocolate pudding.

Assembling the mango avocado crab cake



Pesto linguine with pan-fried bacon wrapped king prawns. Unfortunately the pesto did not have enough salt so it turned out quite bland.



Roasted baby potatoes, pumpkin, baby swiss brown mushrooms and white onions in fresh Rosemary, Thyme, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and olive oil



Jamie Oliver's Baked chocolate pudding. Forgot to put the caster sugar in and didn't turn out the way it should be, but oh well, there's always room for improvement.
