Avery’s away, the taste buds will play

by admin · October 6, 2007

So Avery’s at Becky’s house with her beloved Anna for a sleepover, and we have no time to spare: adult evening, which means… food Avery doesn’t like. Quick, to the stove.

Seared Scallops with Moroccan spices

*****************

Curried Shrimp with Lemon Grass and Ginger

Baby Pak Choi and Savoy Cabbage

**********

A completely divine dinner. Now there must be an unsuitable movie waiting somewhere…

About Kristen

I am a dual American-English citizen living happily in London (only occasionally pining for New York).  I am a cookery writer and member of the Guild of Food Writers, and I’ve just published my second cookbook, ‘second helpings: more tonight at 7.30‘. You can buy both books and other treats here.  I am a church-bell-ringer, a volunteer paediatric social worker, and a devoted host to all the friends and family who flock to our tables in London and Connecticut. My husband and I have a grown daughter who’s an historian, and has reprised her role as photographer for my books.  And… we’re building a house in Central London.  Never a dull moment!
