Outdoor Entertaining

Tips

The beauty of Summer Entertaining goes well beyond a dress code of tank tops, shorts and sunnies. For effortless Summer Entertaining, head no further than South Cape – you and your guests can beat the heat and you’ll feel like the coolest host.

For easy breezy Summer Entertaining, here are some hassle free tips…

• A buffet is often a great choice for a casual, unstructured feeling that both you and your guests alike will enjoy.
• Set the scene by using bright tropical colours for decorating and table settings.
• Add to the ambience – fill some small vases with bunches of aromatic herbs like basil, rosemary and mint.
• Set up a makeshift bar – a folding table is ideal and don’t forget the bucket of ice.
• For a cool fun treat, mix up your favourite summer cocktail, then pour it into icy pole moulds and freeze!
• Don’t forget to take a plate of South Cape cheeses outdoors.
• Remember it's not only what's on the table, it's who's on the chairs that really counts.
  

 Cheesy bits

For a delicious plate to share, shave some South Cape Grana Padano or Reggiano Parmigiano over a platter of steamed asparagus and toasted pine nuts. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.

Create an easy breezy cheese platter with a wedge of South Cape Maasdam, a wedge or wheel of South Cape Camembert and a log of South Cape Goat’s Cheese in Ash. Serve with South Cape Pepper & Sesame crispbreads and some fresh grapes.
