The blooms have arrived, as has spring! We are excited to venture on this month-long adventure of "A Perfect Spring Brunch"
Spring heralds not only warmer weather but also outdoor entertaining. The thought of lighter, brighter meals—and fewer layers—gets us excited about seeing friends we've missed over the last few months as the early blooms begin to appear. While it is our family tradition to host a large brunch during the holidays, we believe brunch should be more than an annual event. We also enjoy hosting weekend brunches because they are a more relaxed way of entertaining and make a regular Saturday or Sunday feel extra special.
We recommend hosting brunch outside whenever possible, weather permitting! Something is refreshing about dining in the garden, surrounded by fresh air and beautiful greenery. However, if you're hosting in the winter or the weather isn't cooperating with your plans, there's nothing wrong with hosting your brunch indoors.
Regarding brunch, we believe in the adage "the more, the merrier." Brunch is the ideal time to host people of all ages and interests, whether it's neighbours who hosted you previously or friends you haven't seen in a long time, especially during the Easter season.
Brunch is also easy to prepare. Our spring brunch features colourful and flavorful dishes, as well as bright, airy décor elements that instantly lift your spirits as you reconnect and start making plans for the summer months.
Don't let us worry you! Most of the items can be prepped ahead of time, and serving brunch buffet-style relieves the pressure of constantly serving and clearing plates. Mixtures and batters can be prepared the night before, and anything hot can be prepared ahead of time and kept warm in the oven until ready to serve.
When your guests arrive, all that will be left to do is set up the brunch buffet.
So, stay tuned while we take you all on a month-long adventure filled with an abundance of fresh ingredients, crisp cocktails, and a meal that celebrates everything that is spring!
