Festive Feasting — Please Be Seated

Setting the table, setting the mood...

Outdoor table with floral plates, potted flowers, and colourful salad. Glasses and bowls on white tablecloth.

Setting the table also means setting the mood of an evening. Scattered wild flowers. Bowls of hazelnuts, bronze chutney and golden peppers. Little offerings seem inviting and exciting. Drawing from the tones of star ingredients we can pull from colours that reflect the season: deep crimson, citrus orange and green... Two recipes and a film follow below.
