The year is nearly over and I am finishing it on a high note. A fabulous baby goat for xmas lunch which I served with a delicious, spicy biryani rice not to mention the foie gras that my lovely friend Jerome made for our starters and a marvelous stay by the sea for the new year.

The next time I will be roasting a baby goat is in February, for the first of my 2012 Arab supper club nights. Unfortunately, I will not have Jerome to help me carve it but I will make sure it is as beautiful as my xmas baby with the same tiny testicles which I will not offer to anyone. Having tried them, I can vouch for the fact that, unlike other baby foodstuffs, they are not good at all. Just delicate and pretty to look at!

Anyhow, here are the menus for the supper club nights for those of you who may want to come to one or more of them. Until then, I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year!
