Garden Party
A garden party is one of summer's most beautiful gatherings, the aroma of grill, fresh salads, chilled lemonades, and laughter of friends under the open sky. Whether you're hosting a birthday, housewarming, or simply a neighborly get-together, a varied menu pleasing adults and kids alike is key. On this special page, you will find recipes for grill classics, salad bars, summer desserts, and refreshing cocktails.
Garden Party on the Plate
The Grill: Heart of the Party
A garden party without a grill is unimaginable. Classics include marinated chicken thighs, BBQ pork ribs, beef burgers, and sausages. For fish, trout, mackerel, or shrimp work great. For vegetarians, grilled vegetables (zucchini, peppers, eggplant), halloumi cheese, or stuffed portobello mushrooms with garlic are perfect.Salad Bar and Fresh Vegetables
A summer garden party isn't complete without a salad spread. Mediterranean with feta and olives, Greek, caprese with mozzarella and basil, couscous with grilled vegetables, or Caesar with croutons. Freshness matters: tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, radishes, straight from the garden if possible.Summer Desserts and Refreshing Drinks
When the sun sets, sweet treats take center stage. Homemade ice cream, fruit sundaes with whipped cream, watermelon balls, strawberry pavlova, or a light tiramisu work wonderfully. For drinks: sangria, mojito, aperol spritz, gin and tonic with basil. For drivers and kids: homemade fruit lemonades, peach iced tea, or cold smoothies.
