Rocket/Orange salad and mushroom risotto

Mushroom risotto made with Swiss brown mushrooms pan-fried separately
(and finished with lemon juice) and then added to rice after 18 mins.
Wine was a sweet bubbly wine (a happy accident as it added a sweet
undertone to the risotto) and vegetarian beef stock. Just fantastic.

Salad had rocket, segmented oranges and thinly-sliced Parmesan.
Dressed with olive oil and balsamic reduction.

Cannelloni with broccoli/cauliflower

Based on a Jamie Oliver recipe: Filling is broccoli and cauliflower
boiled and then cooked down with garlic, chilli and anchovies (very
tasty and with that caramelised cauliflower taste!). Put pasta sauce
with red wine vinegar and salt into a baking dish. Then put in the
filled cannelloni. Top with mix of sour cream and grated Parmesan.
Finish off with more grated Parmesan. Bake for 30 mins at 190C.

Even though I don't usually like baked pasta, this was damn good!
