A Summer Soiree

Another summer season has kicked off with my mom’s annual backyard barbecue. Every year the guest list seems to get a little bigger and along with that an even better menu. My mom outdid herself again with plenty of classic as well as inventive appetizers: cocktail shrimp, perilla salad, fried chicken..my only regret is that I didn’t take enough pictures of all her beautiful dishes! Oh, and did I mention that there was 13 kilos worth of T-bone steaks??! Amahz! To end, I put together a little ice cream bar with fruit and a few cakes to match! It was such a lovely evening and because almost all my desserts could be made in advance I was able to enjoy the night without any fuss! I’ll share a few ice cream recipes in coming weeks, but for now here a few photos from the night!
