Have a lovely mid winter pot luck dinner to go to where everyone is assigned a course. Myself & a lovely friend have been assigned to make a starter each, my friend has decided to make mussel chowder, i however am not so clued up on what to make!Any ideas please on something to feed 16 people, can preferabley be made earlier & not too expensive, much much appreciated!

I saw this on "Come Dine with Me" on Sat morn and it took my fancy for a starter.Garlic mushrooms.She mixed up crushed garlic with butter and an egg yolk.Spread this onto the prepared portabello mushrooms and bake for 15 min in mod oven.One mushroom per person.It looked lovely and I bet ittasted devine.Good luck

those basil pestos are amazing on top of a portobello mushroom with a bit of pharmisan cheese as well. if the other side kick is making soup how about cheese on toast cut small and garlic breads to serve with the soup. you could also make another soup but not seafood, as some people dont like certain seafoods.

a light salad perhaps some salad greens, some cold smoked salmon, red onions etc...
Or have a look on the healthy food guide and do a warm beef salad (will try and find the link for you) It is an easy dish to prepare the components at home, and construct at the time of the meal... PS: I add crunchy noodles (in the Asian section of the supermarket)
goats cheese & dried fig wrapped in prossectuo (sp)

Do breads to go with the chowder as ali suggested it goes with the flow and boosts the other one yet is nice and easy so you have plenty of time to party. And also be very thankful you didn't get the Main and have a friend who wants to do the hard bit.
