Ideas for a Table Setting

August 26, 2009 by Louise

It’s a special oaccasion and you are having everyone over for dinner at your house. A lovely idea would be to make a small colourful Easter egg parcel and attach it with ribbon to the knife, fork and serviette at each setting. Your guests will love it!

Create a Recipe Gift Jar

Next time you find yourself unsure of what to buy someone as a gift, why not purchase a jar and fill it with the ingredients of your favorite sweet recipe. It’s cute, creative, thoughtful and fun to make!

Make Some Healthy Nibbles for your Guests

August 26, 2009 by Louise

Create a simple snack for a party or an eye-catching offer on a table full of deserts. All you need is some fruit and a kebab stick. An inspiration to eat healthy!

Display your Flavour

August 26, 2009 by Louise

Instead of using your traditional salt and pepper cellars, create a delightful centrepiece with your salt and pepper. All you need is salt, pepper and something to shape your pattern with. Items like children’s stencils and cookie cutters work well, or bring out the inner child in you and create your own stencil with cardboard.

Serving Individual Crudités

August 26, 2009 by Louise

A fabulous and innovative snack idea at your next gathering would be to serve crunchy vegetables complete with their own dip, such as buttermilk and peppercorn, roasted pepper and eggplant or toasted curry. Their bowls – hollowed out baguettes – are meant to be eaten, too.

We suggest small flowers, petals or herbs such as mint – frozen within a block of ice to create the ultimate impact. Be sure to choose petals or flowers that are edible or non-toxic. Rose petals, small pansies or…

Throw an Ice-Cream Sundae Party

August 26, 2009 by Louise

Invite your friends to a Sundae Party. Ask your guests to fashion their own dessert by providing bowls of assorted toppings like chocolate covered nuts, chocolate shavings, toffee bars, biscuit pieces, chocolate syrup and fruit. Let everyone get creative!

Dessert Party

August 26, 2009 by Louise

Throw a Dessert Party for some of your friends. Ask each friend to bring a different dessert or alternatively, get a professional chef / caterer to create some desserts that will keep your friends talking for a very long time to come!

Potjie Competition

August 26, 2009 by Louise

Set a date for a Potjie Competition with some friends. Teams must create a potjie using a selection of ingredients that you supply- i.e. they will improvise a recipe then and there. Select one or two people to judge which is the best.

August 26, 2009 by Louise

There is something so sophisticated about eating cherries! Why not serve a delicious bowl of cherries at your next cocktail party or summer lunch.
