date night extravaganza.

Our Saturday night extravaganza has to be one of my ultimate Cardiff memories. It was filled with all of my favourite things - great food, music, wine and of course the perfect company.

For our entree, we made grilled prawns with coriander and lime which couldn't have been a better way to start. It was light and fresh with incredible flavour, it reminded me so much of my dad's cooking in Sydney. The perfect summer meal.
We then made Moroccan lamb burgers for our main course. We sipped on corona's while eating them, the doors wide open with the summer breeze coming through. 
I got some beautiful little purple flowers from Mark & Spencer (real flourists don't exist in Cardiff city centre) which felt like they went perfectly with the food and the scene. Our playlist consisted of artists; Ben Howard, Angus and Julia Stone and The Radio Dept. We threw down my favourite table cloth my mum gave me, lit some tea light candles and cracked open a bottle of white wine. 
After letting our first two courses settle, I made strawberry shortcakes for dessert. It was incredibly quick and easy to make and was a beautiful combination of super sweet, creamy and crumbly. The ideal way to end the extravaganza.

Nights like this just make me so happy. I love getting inspired by good food.

  11. No florists? For goodness sake! Haha. The flowers are lovely - but the food - wow. It looks like the perfect night but what I like the most is how much effort you make at having a nice life. It completely plays to the blog post I have written today...'what are you going to do with this beautiful life'?! Lou x
