The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and it is slowly getting brighter in the morning. Spring awakens motivation, but with a lot of hustle and bustle, breaks are also important. Brunch is perfect for a quiet break. As a mixture of “breakfast” and “lunch”, you have one less meal to worry about on this day. Here are our5 tipsfor a successful brunch.
The planning
In order to make your brunch as stress-free and pleasant as possible, good planning is important. It's best to plan an appointment a week in advance so that you have as much time as possible to choose recipes and go shopping. If you feel like it, you can also ask friends to organize a brunch together. This means that each person is only responsible for a selection of recipes. It is also a good idea to choose recipes that can be prepared the day before. This way you can start your morning more relaxed.
The menu
Since brunch is a combination of “breakfast” and “lunch”, you can let your creativity run wild when choosing the recipe. What we think shouldn't be missing from a brunch are dips, vegetables and fruit, refreshing drinks and lots of small treats. On our blog you will find some recipes that fit perfectly on your brunch table. For example, try our delicious carrot cake, our Wild Garlic Pesto, homemade jam or a fruity refreshment made with pink grapefruit.
Did you know that the idea of brunch comes from Great Britain? In 1895, a hunter published an article in a hunting magazine. In it, he wrote that combining breakfast and lunch was the perfect post-hunt meal.
The decoration
For the right mood, the right decoration should not be missing. In spring, tulips and daffodils are particularly suitable as table decorations. For another splash of color on the table, we recommend our soft Muslin tablecloths and napkins.
DIY stations
DIY stations are an easy-to-implement and varied idea for your spring brunch. Just prepare waffles or crepes and offer different toppings such as berries, yogurt or chocolate cream. So everyone can put together their own creations.
The perfect ending
Brunch can sometimes take a little longer and often extends into the late afternoon. It's best to think about a nice end to the relaxing day. Maybe you can finish off by playing a few board games with your guests or end the brunch with a leisurely afternoon walk.
