    A sample menu for a special occasion of any kind. The happy "bonus" for this meal was that it was prepared entirely by my husband, who I only found out recently is a great cook. Another bonus (for me) was Roast Lamb, with all the trimmings, was on the menu. If you are looking for a memorable meal perhaps something like the following would suit you? Something Special to celebrate unique people in your life ...

    Notes:

    • If you follow a special diet make substitutes to suit
    • As we normally enjoy a simple lower carbohydrate diet we also do not usually eat a lot of sweets containing sugar
    • As mentioned, this was a special meal, and most times we prepare, other favourite foods such as our own Chilli - Frittata or Cauliflower Coconut soup with salad sides, etc.
    • Most of the vegetables were grown at home and all organic

    In Closing:

    As always hoping this idea of a special occasion "feast" inspires you to spoil someone you know. Be creative and imaginative ... without a doubt, my Australian "heritage" dinner rated a ten out of ten ... with thanks ~ Liz
