I find preparing as
much as you can
ahead of time or the
day before is the
best way to enjoy
a meal and have fun with
family and friends. Setting
the table, choosing the
crockery and cutlery and
doing any final decorative
touches is much more
enjoyable when you have
time and are relaxed.
Great
tip
‘Long, hot, summer
days call for cool
lunches, much laughter
and good friends.’
