TopHow to Host a Memorable Brunch
Brunch is the perfect occasion to invite loved ones over. With our tips and tricks, hosting a memorable meal is easy as, well, Sunday morning.
Set the scene
- Choose a mood or colour palette and let it steer your décor choices. A formal feel, for example, warrants linens and china, while a casual vibe calls for rustic accents.
- Take stock of what you have one hand, most importantly plates and serving pieces, and fill in any gaps before your first guests arrive.
- Easy and inexpensive details, like a cheerful tablecloth and napkins, fresh cut flowers or a lovely centrepiece, go a long way to make the gathering feel special.
Plan your menu
- Your menu options abound: You can serve breakfast staples, lunch favourites or a combination of both.
- To maximize time spent with your loved ones, choose dishes that can be made ahead of time. Scrambled eggs, quiches, omelettes or crepes are always crowd-pleasing choices.
- Opt for abundance with an assortment of breads (sweet buns, bagels, croissants, muffins, sourdough, etc.), a cheese or charcuterie board plus fresh salads and fruit.
- Make sure you balance sweet and savoury options while being mindful of any allergies and dietary restrictions. For example, Eggless Crepes are a vegan-friendly take on the classic dish:
- Don’t forget drinks! Fruit juice, coffee and hot chocolate are great to have on hand, as are smoothies for a healthy crowd, or mimosas for an especially festive feel.
- Serve light dessert, like our Guilt-Free Fruity Crème Brûlée. It’s unconventional, but guests will love it.
