Merry Christmas everyone!

Just a quick post asking for some advice for a small dinner party (4 people).

It is my fathers party but I am an attendee along with 2 family friends.

The party is tomorrow and I have suggested that I am going to make my speciality - smoked haddock risotto.

Main course meat has been purchased and it is fillet of beef - the main question stems from the accompaniments to the main dish and sauce. I am thinking the traditional bernaise or perhaps a red wine jus - both, I believe, simple enough to do. Then perhaps serving gratin dauphinoise with the fillet - or would this be perhaps considered too overpowering and distracting? And then vegetables wise I'm thinking perhaps asparagus or other green vegetables for the colour contrast?

Apologies that the writing / english language is a bit haphazard but any advice on the above is most appreciated (as would a suggestion for dessert!)

Thanks again

Dan

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
