Serving a meal on The Marriage Course is an important part of creating a ‘date night’.

We have found that often the best recipes are also the simplest.

Some of the meals we serve include moroccan lamb with pilau rice, chilli con carne with rice, chicken with peppers and paprika in a tomato sauce with rice, pasta bolognaise, spicy chicken with baked couscous and sausages with onion gravy and potatoes. The Alpha Cookbook is a great source of inspiration!

Salad or vegetables and bread are served with every meal, and we always provide a vegetarian option.

We also serve something sweet with tea and coffee including chocolate brownies (always a favourite!), raspberry shortcakes, flapjacks and muffins.
