3 Must-Try Recipes Perfect for Stress-Free Entertaining

If you’re hosting and want dishes that are easy to make and that can be prepped in advance, this summertime spread is for you!

This menu focuses on the beautiful produce that summer offers—eggplant, capsicum, and zucchini. These ingredients, when roasted, become deliciously sweet and flavourful, which ingeniously allows them to do the heavy lifting, so you can relax and enjoy hosting without the stress of complex cooking.

Hosting gatherings should be enjoyable, not daunting. With our Summer spread, you can spend more time enjoying the company and less time in the kitchen.

Orange and Mustard Glazed Salmon with Pistachios and Fresh herbs 

Our mustard-baked salmon is a centrepiece that’s both impressive and easy to prepare. 

To save time on the day, marinate the salmon for 3-4 hours in advance. Because of the acidity from the orange, we advise not marinating for any longer than this.

When it’s time, pop it into the preheated oven, and once cooked, top it with the garnishes.

If you’re not so keen on salmon, simply swap for BBQ chicken or lamb- they are fantastic alternatives to complement this spread.
