How to Host the Perfect BBQ Party this Summer
When it comes to enjoying summer days, nothing beats a casual BBQ with friends and family to kick off the season. As we bid farewell to cooler days and hello to warmer weather, we like to fire up the grill and enjoy the season of sipping cocktails al fresco under the sun.☀️🍹
We usually recommend 6 to 8 people for a backyard BBQ, but it's not unusual for a few last-minute friends to increase those numbers. As a result, we try to present a range of surf and turf-style dishes to ensure that no one leaves hungry, no matter how many people turn up.🍗🍖
Backyard barbecues are ideal for splitting up entertaining chores, with one person tending to the grill and the other seeing visitors and doing any last-minute errands. The majority of the preparation for this gathering may be done ahead of time, allowing you to relax and enjoy the great weather while it
Now that the table is set, we invite you to dust off your grills (if you haven't already) and follow us all month as we walk you through how to achieve this spectacular gathering!

Join us as we dive into a world of flavours and take a bite of pure bliss. This is truly a garden party must! 🍓🍊
Ingredients
FRANGIPANE
½ cup butter
½ cup granulated sugar
3 eggs, divided
1 cup almond flour, divided
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp grated lemon zest
CRUST
1 (9-inch) frozen par-baked pie crust, thawed according to package directions
FILLING
2 cups thinly sliced stone fruit (pears, apricots, etc.)
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup melted butter
¼ cup crushed pistachios
Icing sugar, for serving 1 cup crème fraîche, optional
Method
FOR THE FRANGIPANE
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar quickly until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low. With the mixer running, add 1 egg and ⅓ cup of almond flour. Mix until thoroughly combined. Repeat twice until the eggs and all the almond flour are incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions.
- Add the all-purpose flour, vanilla, and lemon zest. Mix on low speed just to combine, then set aside.
FOR THE CRUST AND FILLING
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Bake the crust until it is lightly golden and the bottom is set, for 10 minutes.
- This will prevent the bottom from getting soggy.
- Fill the pie crust with room-temperature frangipane and spread it in an even layer.
- Combine the sliced stone fruit with the sugar in a large bowl, and leave to marinate for 5–10 minutes. Press the fruit into the frangipane, but make sure to leave some fruit poking through.
- Place the tart on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spillage, and bake until the frangipane has risen and almost engulfed the fruit, about 40 minutes.
- The top of the frangipane should be slightly golden.
- Allow to cool completely, then brush with melted butter, dust with crushed pistachios and icing sugar, and serve with some crème fraîche on the side (if using).
Note
The frangipane can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day in advance; bring it to room temperature before using.
Let's spread the joy of this dessert and make every garden gathering a truly scrumptious affair! 🌺🍰

Prosciutto with Melon Florets Recipe
The first thing to remember about curating a garden party menu is diversity.
Picture a vast table full of friends and family, everyone carrying massive plates and pouring themselves their favourite delicacies. Not every item will appeal to everyone, but a family-style platter supper allows everyone to eat more of what they like while avoiding what they don't.
Rather than traditional canapés, we start our party with the ultimate shared European starter: Prosciutto with Melon Florets.
It's quick, easy, and a popular dish in Mediterranean restaurants. There are a few ways to present them together. While a slice of prosciutto wrapped around a wedge of melon is more common, we like the elegant look of ultra-thinly sliced prosciutto and shaved melon ribbons presented on a platter in small bunches or florets.
Don't believe us? Try it for yourself!
-
Ingredients:
2 large cantaloupes
24 slices of thinly sliced prosciutto
Method
1. Cut the cantaloupe in half, peel the skin, and remove the seeds. Cut each half in half again. Shave each piece into long, thin slices using a mandolin or a vegetable peeler.
2. Make piles of prosciutto on a large serving platter, about 3 pieces per mound. Pinch together a small bunch of cantaloupe ribbons and place them on top of the prosciutto, creating florets. Serve immediately.
Now that you've got your menu all laid out, all there's left to do is get the party started!

-
Ingredients
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp. table salt
1 Tbsp ground ginger
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
¾ cup butter
½ cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling ½ cup packed brown sugar 1 large egg
1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
¼ cup dark molasses
1 Tbsp coarse sea salt
Method
1. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix in the ginger, pepper, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed with both sugars, the egg, and fresh ginger until light and fluffy, 4-5 minutes.
3. Turn the mixer to low speed. Slowly add the molasses, then the flour mixture, and mix until fully combined.
4. Roll the dough into a single large ball, then wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Remove the dough ball from the freezer and allow it to soften slightly for about 15 minutes. Pour some more granulated sugar into a small bowl. Divide the dough into 18 evenly sized balls, wet your hands, and roll each ball in the sugar. Work quickly, as the dough needs to remain chilled.
7. Place the balls about 4 inches apart on the baking sheets and sprinkle each one with a pinch of sea salt.
8. Place one baking sheet on the top rack of your oven and the other on the bottom rack, and bake the cookies for 6–8 minutes. Rotate the sheets and bake until brown, 6–8 minutes.
9. Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes, then transfer them to an airtight container for up to 5 days (although they are so good, they won't last that long).
Note: The dough can be rolled into balls and frozen, so you can bake up some of these ginger delights whenever the urge strikes!
Treat yourself and your guests to a treat that will leave everyone craving more! 🍪😍
Leek and Mushroom Frittata Recipe
Every brunch party deserves a main attraction!
This classic dish has a delicious twist with sautéed leeks, mushrooms, and melty cheese, baked to golden perfection. It's the leek and mushroom frittata! Plus, we've got a quiche variation for those who want to switch things up. We recommend adding some pieces of cubed bread to your frittata to provide a nice texture and add some extra substance to the dish.
Fun fact: If you are looking for a healthier cheese option, goat cheese can be used. It is low in calories and has a tangy and slightly sweet flavour that pairs well with a variety of ingredients in this dish.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. butter
1 leek, white and light green parts only, chopped
12 oz. sliced cremini and/or oyster mushrooms
Sea salt and black pepper
10 eggs
2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese + extra for sprinkling
¼ cup curly parsley
1½ cups crème fraîche
8-10 cubes of crusty bread, such as sourdough, are optional.
1 (12-inch) frozen pie crust, thawed, for quiche variation
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Heat the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium; next, add the leek and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the mushrooms are soft, for about 8 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the gruyère, parsley, creme fraiche, and a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this egg mixture over the mushrooms.
4. Add the cubed bread (if using).
5. Sprinkle with more gruyere and place in the oven until the center is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
6. For the quiche variation, omit the cubed bread but prepare all the other ingredients in the same way. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust and bake according to the package instructions. Generally, a quiche this size should take 45 minutes to bake, but watch for it to be fully set and test it by inserting a knife into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, it's cooked through.

Step 4: Next, add large, lush blooms (peonies and garden roses work well) low and close to the center of the stand.
Step 5: Add longer-stemmed blooms of all textures, heights, and sizes to float above the greenery and low, round flowers. Place them in the flow and direction of your greenery, and let them move about the place.

Tips on How to Set Your Table for a Spring Brunch
Spring is an excellent time to set up a brunch tablescape and enjoy intimate meals with family and friends! While brunch is generally a more casual setting, we enjoy putting a little extra effort into the tablescape, which is incredibly simple.
Here are our top tips for incorporating the best of spring into your tablescape for a colorful and beautiful brunch!
- A white linen tablecloth to add a touch of formality.
- The meal may not be fancy, but we invite our guests to dress up a little to add some elegant touches to make the event feel special.
- As table runners, we prefer to use a roll of blackboard paper and offer each visitor a piece of chalk or even a little cup of coloured chalk. Since brunch can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages, this is a great interactive decoration to add to your brunch.
- Use everyday white plates and basic silverware to match the tablecloth.
- We like to add a little pop and elegance to our table to bring out our beautiful crystal glassware. While we aren't afraid to risk our nice glassware in front of a mixed-age crowd, younger guests may prefer more easily replaced glasses.
- Place tiny pink florals and cupcakes at each place setting to help tie the whole table setting together and add a touch of whimsical fun.
- Use sticky notes to keep track of what you'll be serving on each platter when you're getting started. It also helps your kitchen helpers understand what will be served and where.
- Even though this meal will be served buffet-style, each dish should be strategically placed so your guests don't miss anything as they work their way down the counter.
- Sort each dish by type: hot food first, then seafood, cheeses, bread, salads, fruits, and desserts. To tie the décor together, scatter a few vases throughout the buffet and by the prosecco bar.
We hope these tips help you enjoy your spring brunch! Is there anything we've missed? Leave your own ideas and tips in the comments!

A Perfect Spring Brunch
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!
