Hi thanks for taking the time to read this (and answer)
I have to do a school project where i cook a 3 course meal i have got:
Entree: Cocktail Prawns
Main: Roast Chicken with Jacket Potatoe and Coleslaw
Dessert: White Chocolate Brulee

What do u think of these ideas? what could i do instead??
Also for the roast chicken what is a good sauce that could go with it??
I thought of a creamy mushroom sauce but cant find a recipe for just the sauce... please and thank u for your help.

i think its appropriate for a school project. first the shrimp cocktail in an appetizer not an entree. your entree is the chicken. be careful with the brule cause although you may have a recipe even chefs deem that dish somewhat tricky due to the way the custard has to be cooked. a good sauce would be a nice vellute where u use chicken broth and thicken it with a roux. you can use a little rosemary. for the much room cream:
2 cups fresh chopped mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
1 shallot chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup cream
2 tblsp parm
1 tblsp roux

first in a pot saute the mushrooms, shallots and garlic, until mushrooms are juicy add white win and reduce the alcohol. add the cream and reduce for1 minute stir in the roux until the desired consistency and the stir in the parm, season with salt and pepper and maybe sprinkle a little chopped parsly or italian herbs. hope u succeed!
