Summer Loving

there is an art to entertaining, whether you do it indoors or out. While the level of artistry may be the same, there is something different about entertaining outdoors. With the sun warming your skin, the breeze whipping your hair and the scent of freshly mown grass mingling with the aroma of barbecued or woodfired cooking, can you imagine a more relaxing setting? At night it’s a different type of magic, with ambient lighting creating a fairyland type of vibe and the stars providing a twinkling canopy.

Most entertaining outside involves the cooking and serving of a meal and it really doesn’t matter what you have in mind. It could be a big group gathered around a table sharing food from large platters and bowls; it could be a buffet service or it might be a restaurant-style, sit-down meal. Somehow alfresco food just seems to taste better, and cooking it doesn’t seem such a chore.
