Every occasion tailors a menu to add to the experience of the guest. Food is not only important for general wellbeing, eating a healthy diet and discovering the right foods to eat for your own body increases longevity. We hosted a bubbly breakfast recently with a mandate to celebrate our annual Women’s Etiquette Brunch, which is billed for June 11, 2022.
This will be the fourth installment of this astounding event after a two-year break due to COVID-19. #WEB22 promises to be everything and more with a panel that will bring about thought provoking conversations, which aim to give women the tools they need to balance, grow and build themselves. The guests who sat at the bubbly breakfast long table were invited to discuss the topics, which will be spoken on at the main event. We had Miss Botswana Palesa Molefhe, Imaan Kaadar (Options), Tshepi Scheffers, Portia Kalane, Lebo Nkwe (Bayport) amongst a few.
After a toast to celebrate what matters with Graham Beck Brut Rose, we started the conversation, which flowed seamlessly and even lost track of time for a bit. I put on my Chellzkitchen apron as I stepped into the kitchen to check on Jerome our concierge for the day and put nibbles in the oven to get warm. Rodizio supplied us with Chicken and Ribblet platters, which Chellzkitchen added to with bruschetta, scones, cheese puffs, pigs in a blanket and a fruit board. Betsi of the Goodie Bag Factory supplied us with a delicious, spongy chocolate cake. I for one cannot wait to see what she comes up with for brunch. We finally made our way to the food table and thoroughly feasted. Everything was easily put together and tasty. Bruschetta is an antipasto from Italy consisting of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. Variations may include toppings of tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, or cheese. In Italy, bruschetta is often prepared using a grill.
Avocado cheese bruschetta is a creamy and spicy appetiser your guests will love. Always a hit at a party. I always find myself looking for the perfect tasty appetiser to serve my friends and family and this is one of my favourites, it is very versatile and perfect for every occasion.
