My first trip to Frankie and Benny’s resulted in my trying my daughter’s and son in law to be’s starters. They were insistant as they are keen to help me achieve this goal

12 Dough Balls – O.K. so this is really just teeny bread but as I’ve never had bread this teeny before I guess it counts.

13 Southern Blue Mushroom – flat mushrooms filled with mozzarella, garlic and breadcrumbs, oven baked and served with fresh rocket, Italian hard cheese and balsamic glaze. Slightly too garlicky for my taste but think I might try to make my own … one day !
