Eventually, we decided on a secluded spot at the side of the house: it’s private, shady and has very green view with the mountains in the far distance.
Garden noodle rolls were great for the entrée. It’s a healthy finger food, complemented with mint & lime sauce. It’s really just lots of finely diced vegetables and minced pork rolled in rice noodles. Everyone loved it!
Massaman curry for the main course worked well. I added a bit of chilli for a little heat to combat the winter breeze. This is a great dish for parties because it’s made the day before and left to simmer overnight, soaking up all the flavours. Then it’s simply a matter of serving it on a bed of rice, sitting back and gracefully accepting the applause.
Fresh strawberries, kiwifruit, and raspberries were perfect just on their own and really helped to cleanse the palette.Closing the meal were homemade individual fruit tarts served with hot coffee and jasmine tea: a lovely combination.
I couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather. Dining in the winter sunshine was a delight!
It was such a success that we’ve decided to do it all again very soon. In the meantime, I’m inspired by the details of this gorgeous garden party: it’s full of ideas for throwing my next casual get-together outdoors.

A bunch of flowers, a few candles, and paper lanterns makes any party feel fabulous.
