Outdoor entertaining ideas for spring

The beautiful warmer months of spring are finally on their way! With the warmer temperature comes the opportunity for outdoor entertaining, with barbeques and alfresco cooking taking centre stage.

Below are some ideas for outdoor entertaining ideas, recipes and general tips for dining alfresco!

Dress your outdoor serving table for a lovely alfresco meal

There are little flourishes that you can add to your outdoor serving table that make the experience even more enjoyable. Add fresh spring and summer flowers in oversized vases and light a few candles for when the evening light starts to wane.

Add chic vibes to your casual table setting

There is nothing quite like making your outdoor entertaining experience fresh and colourful. The food of summer often features bright sweet fruits, green crispy salads and the crackling of barbecue flames, and the decor for the occasion should be just as colourful.

Outdoor entertaining, done authentically

Authentic Italian cuisine is perfect for a casual outdoor dining experience. Hearty dishes can be paired with light salads and refreshing wines for a delicious repast. One particularly moreish dish is the Chiappi Sisters’ crunchy breaded chicken recipe, accompanied by roasted vegetables and pesto.
