Kolokythokeftedes, Sadza ne Nyama & Chocolate Parfait

My friends, Kelly and Darren, came for dinner the other night and they brought their beautiful baby Connie who is my God Daughter.  :-)  Kelly made a special request for Sadza ne Nyama so I made it for her.

I made them Kolokythokeftedes for starters, Sadza ne Nyama for the main course and Chocolate Parfait for pudding.
