Summer Farm Table Feast
This dinner party is all about peak-season produce, long golden hours, and that just-picked, just-poured, just-right kind of vibe. Picture a big rustic table under string lights, mismatched linens, chilled rosé, and dishes that let summer ingredients shine. It’s relaxed but thoughtful, like a barefoot dinner in a Nancy Meyers garden—with better playlists and fewer rules. Serve up grilled veggies, fresh herbs, juicy tomatoes, and don’t be surprised when the conversation lingers long past sunset.

Peach & Tomato Panzanella
This salad is pure summer on a plate—juicy heirloom tomatoes, sweet peaches, and torn sourdough croutons all soaking up a tangy vinaigrette. It’s equal parts bright, bold, and totally unfussy. The kind of dish that looks like it came from a farmer’s market Instagram reel but tastes even better.
Sunday Roast Chicken
Golden, crisp-skinned, and impossibly juicy—this roast chicken is the main event without making a fuss about it. Roasted over a bed of summer veggies, serve it straight from the roasting dish with a glass of something cold.
Rosé Rosemary Spritz
Light, bubbly, and effortlessly elegant—this cocktail is summer in a glass. Dry rosé meets sparkling water and a hint of rosemary syrup for a sip that’s herbaceous, crisp, and dangerously easy to keep refilling. Garnish with a sprig and a citrus twist, and you’ve got yourself a drink that looks as good as it tastes. Aperol who?
Mocktails That Still Bring the Party
Whether you're skipping the booze, serving a mixed crowd, or just want something refreshing that doesn’t hit quite so hard, these mocktails are anything but boring. Think bright basil lemonade, creamy coconut sippers, and juicy flavors that feel just as festive as the real thing.
Honey Yogurt Panna Cotta with Apricot Glaze
Light, luxe, and just the right amount of sweet—this panna cotta feels fancy but comes together with minimal effort (our favorite kind of dessert). Creamy honey-sweetened yogurt meets a silky set, topped with a golden apricot glaze that tastes like sunshine.
