Italian Family Dinner
When I think of Italy, I think BIG family dinners…. whether you’re filling your table with your family or your friends let’s just make sure you embrace this evening like a big Italian family would!
Menu:
Rustic Foccacia or Pugliaci Bread
Caprese Salad
Fresh Fruit and Chocolates for dessert!
Now the Table!
There is a crisp simplicity to recreating the feel of Italy. White tablecloths, fresh lemons, a little touch of greenery and some red checked napkins and you’re set to go. Add in some wine bottle taper candle holders, a few tea lights and your table will feel like you’re gathered on the veranda in Italy.
I love creating table runners out of fresh ivy or greenery and when they’re laid over top white tablecloths they stand out even more. Go foraging and see what you can find in your own yard, or at a local green space. If you’re in the city and don’t want to trim your neighbors hedges ;) ask your local grocer if they give discounts if you purchase in bulk.
We can’t wait to see what kind of magic you create - be sure to tag us @ciderpresslane so we can share in the feasting and community with you! And if you’re hosting this Italian meal ‘Freedom Dinner' style - be sure to fill us in on how it all goes!!
Cheers to creating community that gives Freedom.
