Clueless Chef needs help!! CDWM

Sparki

Hi everyone,

I am doing a come dine with my friends and my dinner party is next week. We are all students living away from home, so we try to stay away from things like pasta etc.

I am thinking of doing Chicken cacciatore (chicken in tomatoe and olive sauce) served with sticky rice and rocket salad.


Followed by marshmallow/chocolate/biscuit squares with cream and strawberries.

Just wondering does anyone have any good starter ideas?? I need something that is relitively easy to make as there will be 10 people eating and i dont have a huge amount of time. Something italian would be good but im open to all suggestions ( brushcetta is out, already done)


Also wondering if you think that the main course is a little easy, or a little mundane, seen as tomato sauce is so common....

Would really appreicate any thought/advice. Thanks a mill
