Menu No 8: Fall 2023

Menus is a series of, well, menus. Each contains a set of recipes for a multi-course dinner, well suited for a little dinner party. And with a plan to boot!

A cool-weather dinner, Menu No. 8 begins with a pumpkin soup. Shrimp Mozambique, a Portuguese classic, is the main; paired with cornbread it’s ostensibly shrimp and grits. To finish: boozy soufflé with cream.

This is the eighth cookbooklet in the Menu series dedicated to dinner party menus. Each book contains a set of recipes for what could be a lovely party, including planning and pairing notes. Focusing on maximizing flavor while minimizing waste, the aim is to use ingredients that might otherwise be scrapped: corn goes into one recipe, the cob into another; shrimp for one, shells for another.
