Let There Be Brunch!


Our 5th secret gathering, Let There Be Brunch was a huge success! Guests were welcomed in from the grey wet weather with slippers, the morning paper and a feast that lasted way into the afternoon. Highlights included home-baked corn mufins, vodka, dill and beetroot cured gravalax, homemade baguette (they sure beat shop bought!), an unusual but delicious cocktail entitled "Diamonds & Dust"- muddled strawberry's topped with prosecco and sprinkled with bacon dust, baked eggs served Greek & Spanish style, delectable French Toast , heavenly cinamon swirls and "Strawberry Kisses" to finish.
Check out the photographs below!
