- my actual IRL standard fancy meal: saag paneer; chaat (via meera sodha's made in india); rice; poppadoms and mango chutney; quality street or daim bars for pudding
- cheese soufflé; puy lentils; steamed runner beans with butter, lemon and tarragon; white wine; crepes with caramel apples and vanilla ice cream, or just the ice cream on its own
- a mezze idea: beetroot hummus (a cafe i like used to do it with sliced radishes and pomegranate seeds on top which was nice); grilled dressed aubergine; stir-fried grated courgette and mustard seeds mixed with yoghurt and sprinkled with smoked paprika; warm pitta bread or simit; shop-bought stuffed vine leaves; olives
- vegetarian mapo tofu; sichuan aubergines; stir-fried pak choi; rice
- too-hot-to-cook meal: summer rolls; big bowl of peanut-tamarind sauce for dipping; korean cucumber salad on the side; cold cold beer
- dream brunch: scrambled tofu with indian flavours and cherry tomatoes; thickly buttered sourdough toast; sliced ripe avocado with lime juice to pour over; bowl of cherries warmed up in the sunshine; cold smooth orange juice from the fridge
