Mad Cook
Master Chef
I find I have to entertain a Jewish couple to dinnner - long story. They are Reform not Orthodox and would like something traditionally British! A little advice on what is Kosher and what isn't would be welcome.
I know dairy and meat together are out of the question but does this mean just in the same course in the meal or does it cover the whole meal - eg I know I can't do chicken with a sauce which includes milk or cream but could I serve plain chicken as main course and serve cream with the dessert? Also does the meat/dairy thing apply to fish and dairy, too? I'm aware of the scales thing with fish - I'm in UK so I'd probably be using cod, haddock or hake which I believe are acceptable.
Or would I be safer doing a vegan meal or would there be pitfalls there, too?
I tried to work this out on the internet but ended up more confused than when I started Unfortuantely I have not English friends or acquaintances to fall back on for advice.
