Tomato Bruschetta
This classic Italian dish is perfect for warm summer gatherings
and is fresh, tasty, and packed with flavor. It can be served as a starter or
part of a wider tapas meal. All you need is a crusty loaf of bread, tomatoes,
red onions, garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Mix all of the
ingredients together in a bowl with the vinegar and oil and allow to rest and
soak up the flavor. Meanwhile, slice the bread diagonally and toast lightly so
both sides are brown. You then simply load the tomato mixture onto your lightly
toasted bread. A perfect, fresh, easy lunch option.
Lobster rolls
If you want to pull out the stops then lobster is always the way
to do it. What is more, it is a great ingredient to give your lunch the wow
factor. These delicious lobster rolls only require a handful of ingredients;
lobster, celery, lemon, hot dog rolls, (option lettuce), mayonnaise, and
seasoning. Again, you simply combine the ingredients (not the rolls,
obviously), toast the hot dog rolls, and fill. It couldn’t be simpler. Here’s
how to make the best
lobster rolls, in more detail.
Chicken pot pie
Chicken
pot pie is a perfect warming
winter recipe that is easy to share with friends. You need cooked chicken, a
bag of frozen veg, mushroom soup, chicken soup, pre-rolled pastry, and
seasoning. A top tip is to buy your veg pre-prepared as this will save you time
and effort. As above, you combine all of your ingredients in a bowl and mix
together. You then spread this out into a pie dish and top with pastry. Another
impressive yet easy-to-make meal to feed all your guests.
Cheese Fondue
Cheese fondue is a perfect social option that involves very
little prep and next to no cooking time. It is the perfect sharing dish. You
simply pour white wine and lemon juice into a pan and heat it on a low heat
until it starts to steam. Slowly add cheese (gruyere and emmental work best)
and keep whisking until all the cheese has been melted and mixed together. Once
all melted, add to a sharing bowl and enjoy.
Use crusty bread, vegetable sticks, or potatoes as the perfect
dipping accompaniment. Another great tip is to serve up with pickles and
chutneys for extra flavor.
Simple champagne cocktail
I personally don't drink alcohol and can't give much advice on this topic, but for some, luncheons are best served with a cold cocktail on the side.
A kir royale is a great option for a flavorsome twist on a glass of bubbles.
Simply add blackcurrant
liqueur to your glass of fizz
and a fresh blackberry to garnish your cocktail.
