I second this. I went to the Ruth Sirkis cookbook but the recipes were for party food, dairy things. On a non Shabbat I might do a Yehudit theme'd meal of salty feta, olives, wine, etc. If Shabbat weren't out so early, I'd do a Seudah Shlisheet that was dairy like that

Here's where I'm at as of now. I need ideas too as we have two guests coming
Fish course (gefilte)
Hummus/Tehina/Zchug/cole slaw/broccoli salad

Soup course:Three color matza balls (Kosher by design entertains - just split into 3 bowls your matza mix and add a spoon of tomato paste, ground spinach and small amount of tumeric, to make the three different colors)

Entree will be schnitzel since it is fried in oil
Latkes
Green beans almondine
Yerushalmi kugel (replaces the potato one since I have latkes on the table)
the three other things that DH or I decide we "need" to suddenly make. For example, DH ends up with a need for chopped liver, to which I counter we should also do an egg salad. Then we realize we need a green salad to go with the entree. last week it was the taro chips salad from kosher by design with the french dressing with grated onion.

Dessert:
I have a recipe where you make a 2 layer cake from a mix. the bottom layer you frost. The top layer you cut a magen david (a triangle then another one) by hand with a knife. Add to the bottom and frost. Then you make either a (blue) jello/ or fruit jam filling of your choice and fill in the magen david you have cut. The frosting should act as a waterproof that the filling doesn't spill into the bottom layer, but if it does, it's like one of those fancy cakes.

DH found a recipe for melting chocolate with biscuits, spreading into a springform, then topping with a mouse that he is campaigning for.
