A Taste Of An Italian Summer

The scorching heat of July or perhaps August is upon us, prompting us to consider our food choices. What should we eat to stay cool and energised during these sweltering months? Let's ponder this important question.

a) Consider a more casual approach. You could opt for a buffet or have waiters serve your guests, allowing them to socialise and make use of the available space. Finger foods could be a great option to encourage mingling.

b) Enhance your dining experience with a selection of refreshing appetisers. Pair these delectable dishes with Italian Prosecco, a Rossini, or a Mimosa for a truly delightful combination. Indulge in the exquisite flavours and enjoy a memorable culinary experience.

c) Imagine enjoying a selection of refreshing beverages at your event. Picture tall glass jugs filled with freshly squeezed lemonade garnished with slices of lemon. Or perhaps you may prefer a granita, perfect for cooling down on a hot day. If cocktails are more your style, be sure to choose light and definitely refreshing options to keep your guests satisfied.

d) Create a menu that is both light and flavorful, ensuring that your canapé selection is both intriguing and delicious. It is important to strike a balance that allows your guests to savour the main reception without feeling overly full.

e) Think barbecue. It exudes a sense of simplicity, yet offers your guests a plethora of options to choose from, not only in terms of taste but also in variety. Offer a wide selection of meats, fish, and vegetarian options, complimented by an array of salads, breads, and cheeses and squeeze in some light pasta dishes... Alternatively create a picnic feel to the event.

g) How about having an ice cream cart at your event, offering a variety of delicious flavours such as vanilla, strawberry, and pistachio? It would be the perfect way to end the reception and add a touch of fun for your guests.

Hope that helps. a little....
