Entertain this summer with succulent seafood
The stress of entertaining can get in the way of making the most of time with friends and family. To make sure your summer festivities go off without a hitch, here are some stress-free entertaining tips:
Whenever possible, prepare food in advance. Purchase, chop and marinate the evening before to ensure that everything is organized when guests arrive.
Keep it simple. Great meals aren’t always complicated. Look for recipes that include simple, fresh and high quality ingredients.
Fire up the grill and try something new. Cooking seafood on the barbecue adds new flavour and texture to the perfect summer dish.
