Strawberry - Black Tie

 

It's not really a recipe, but just a cute Idea, how serve sparkling wine for your loved ones!

Directions and the picture of a handsome chef is below ;) 

Salad with caramelized pear and blue cheese

One of my favorite combination is fruits and cheese - especially in a salad! So it's not even a recipe, but just an idea for summer lunch.

Asparagus! The season is officialy opened ))

Fanally Asparagus is now doesn-t need to fly to us from far away... Asparagus season came! *jumping*

And this is sure not a recipe at all - just an idea, which I got in russian Gastronome magazine. Asparagus with mozzarella, quail eggs and truffle oil. That's all! ...and some cold white wine....mmmmmm
Light dinner is ready ;) 

Cherry Tomatos with cheese

Just an idea )) Stuffed cherry tomatos with cheese. There lots of options to stuff it! I prefer it with cheese and lots of spices (thyme, Herbs de Provence etc). You can clean tomatos with a melon-spoon. If you dont have it - you neeeeed to get it!!! There is no tasty life without melonspoon!

Bon appetite!

Two soups

These are my favourite cold soups! (also from belonika.ru)

They are both great in summertime or in "party time". For a party it's always nice to serve it in glasses. The best thing about both is that it's unbelivable easy to make. Just put everything is a blender! Also both of them you can make in advance. So, here come the recipes.

Healthy party snack )

Also just an idea )) it's always great to have something fresh during the party and even better if you could it it with your hands ;) I call it "St Tropez plate".. because there it's something traditional - vegies with all kinds of white sauces. White sauce can be bought or made from everything you like! I prefer "the easier - the better": any kind of Philadelphia cheese mixed with cream. I love it with garlic - but for guests i don't do ))

Bon Appetite!

Party snack

Again - not a recipe at all, but just an idea. Nice wooden sticks, sweet cherry tomatos, fresh basil and small mozzarella. Serve it however you like - it will always look quite bright! It do it on a separate small table by the entrance..and sure next to cold white wine! Just to say "hello" to your guests ))

Welcome!

Strawberry!

Great as an accompaniment to champagne! Sure it's not a recipe at all - just an idea ))

In each half strawberry make a small hole (there are special "melon" spoons for that, but not necessarily), to put in each a small peace of gorgonzola cheese and just a drop of balsamic cream (not essing). Ready!
