Dinner party with lamb and Grangehurst cabernet

Our deferred Easter celebration on Sunday (sticking to the Banting diet) took its toll and we were given lots of chocolate “Easter eggs” which are seriously tempting. However, despite a small helping of duck fat potatoes with our roast lamb with lots of vegetables and a flourless chocolate roulade with raspberries, we have managed to stave off any increases in weight, but no lie, it has been difficult. The starter was a salmon mousse, served with Nitida Semillon 2011 and, for those who were permitted it, ciabatta from Lust bakery at Vrede en Lust 
Grangehurst’s wonderful 2002 Cabernet sauvignon merlot blend was a perfect complement to the lamb
The chocolate roulade with raspberries was a great finish. Some of us enjoyed Laborie’s Alambic Potstill brandy with the coffee
