Thought it time to share some delicious and simple platters that I make. Hope that these ideas make summer lunches and al fresco parties easy and enjoyable.
Colourful salad with edible flowers, nuts and feta cheese - a feast for the eyes.
I like to combine something green, something crunchy, something creamy and something slightly unexpected (like fruit or flowers):
Serve with some rustic bread or garlic rolls and sliced gammon served hot or cold:
Do all the prep beforehand and assemble before serving.
Roast chicken or sliced fillet is fabulous as well.
In
winter a platter of oven roast veggies (in this case aubergines,
peppers and artichokes on grilled cabbage) with balsamic drizzle works a
treat too.
A simple, healthy and beautiful option is to just serve seasonal fruit.
Or a cheeseboard with grapes, figs etc!
For summer a mango and yoghurt dessert, berries or grilled peaches with marscapone
or simply strawberries and cream.
In winter you can add hot
white chocolate sauce or naughty custard and home-made icecream.
These platters give you more time to spend with your guests and have fun.
Enjoy and bon-appetit!
