Tips On Hosting A Home Brunch

Food

• Lemon poppy seed pancakes

• Overnight French toast with maple pecan & granola crunch • Easy shakshuka

• Assorted pastries (plain croissants, Danish pastries, cinnamon rolls, muffins)

• Build Your Own Waffle (jam, cream, maple syrup, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, bacon)

Drinks

Diy Prosecco Bar

• 2-3 bottles of prosecco

• 1 L of cranberry juice

• 1 L of orange juice

• Fresh strawberries and orange slices

Other beverages:

• Coffee (milk, almond milk, whipped cream)

• Tea (flavoured teas, black tea, rooibos tea)

• Fresh juices (pineapple, orange, lime)

Sweets

• Chocolate bread pudding

• Assorted fruits (apples, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mangoes, oranges) • Apple pie with ice cream

Tips

• Make sure the recipes you choose have ingredients that are locally available. You don’t want to choose a recipe that uses fruits that are out of season.

• Consider using labels. Don’t feel like a micromanager when all you want is order. You can label different dishes as well as where people should sit.

• Faux but classy. Don’t be shy to use faux cups and glasses in lieu of glass.

• Keep it fresh. You might be tempted to use store-bought juice but nothing tastes better than fresh juice.
