From the July/August issue: Summer Feasting

There’s something truly decadent about enjoying a full-on outdoor feast.

With the weather a little more predictable than usual this summer, the logistics of enjoying dinner banquet as the sun sets in the garden are slightly more manageable.

Still struggling? Don’t worry, we’ve enlisted an expert team and pulled together everything you need to host the perfect al fresco feast, complete with a dreamy tablescape and menu bursting with ripe, seasonal flavour. All the simple pleasures of a long, lazy summer day spent with friends, special enough to make it all worthwhile. Bon appetit.
