It always happens (at least with me) that when I have invited guests, I run out of ideas. I want simple yet elegant food, easy to serve and generally liked by people. I literally go through brainstorming session to decide the menu. If the same people have been invited earlier, I try to make sure that the menu does not get repeated. I happen to invite people 4-5 times in last few weeks, so here are the menus I served recently. I’ll keep on updating this post as and when new menu gets created.
