Easy Summer Dinner Party
Pull out your dinnerware in summer's quintessential colour for a fabulous dinner party - with a fast and easy menu to match
The Menu
- Grilled Haloumi with White Corn & Apple Salsa
The slight saltiness of the haloumi is delicious with the tart apple salsa - Cauliflower & Celery Root Buttermilk Vichyssoise
Creamy (without the fat!) and refreshing. Delicious hot or cold - Seared Halibut with Summer White Salad
Don’t limit yourself - any fish is delicious with this salad - Effortless Almond Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches
We’ve made these meringues a little on the chewy side so they don’t fall apart when you eat them
Tablescaping
Plan for your collection of whiteware to include vases, jugs, salt and pepper shakers, tablecloths and napkins. With an all-white look, you can build a collection over many years and everything will work together.
The beauty of an all-white table is that you can mix dish sets for a subtle, layered effect. Choose plates in a variety of textures and patterns, especially at the edges. You don't need to match materials or shades of white; it's all in the mix.
Designer Trick:Add in one colourful plate for extra punch.
