Have a wonderful summer: party, taste & enjoy!

Summertime, bring it on! What does your ideal summer look like when you're not on holiday, but just cozy at home? I'm really looking forward to these #HappyMoments with big tables full of food, nice people, tasty drinks and cooling sweets. But especially chats, lots of chats. Do you have friends over and are you looking for inspiration? Here we go!

The summer months have so much to offer. Choose delicious seasonal vegetables to surprise your guests: artichoke, endive, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant, zucchini, pointed cabbage, celery, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, radishes… And so much more!

You can also vary this season with fruit to your heart's content: strawberries, melon, nectarines, raspberries and different types of berries provide endless eating pleasure. Discover my feel good tips, inspiration and recipes for an unforgettable summer!

Festive snacks & drinks in 1-2-3

Make every moment a 'happy hour' and treat yourself to surprising aperitif snacks and refreshing summer drinks. The apero board is the ideal starter for a party, and I’m happy to show you how to whip up the most beautiful treats and finger food in no time: go all out with this apero board full option or choose a Southern mezze platter with falafel. You can also easily bake these savory crackers yourself or serve a gluten-free cracker with almond and thyme. Do you have some leftover herbs, cheese, vegetables, or fruit? Then try my recipe for a tzatziki dip with roasted eggplant or how about this hummus with fresh herb oil. Prefer a snack with extra punch? Then I recommend these patatas bravas or a refreshing gazpacho.

No party without delicious drinks! Are you team cocktail or more team mocktail? On my recipe blog, you'll find inspiration for everyone: from real classics with a twist, like this raspberry rhubarb mojito and sangria Ibiza style, to these tropical nectarine slushies and sparkling lemonades or fruity water infusions. Cheers!
