I truly adore summer, although autumn and spring are my favourite seasons. However, I do feel all four season have their place in my book!
For most, the welcoming of summer has officially begun or you’ve been wanting to welcome summer despite the actual climate pattern. As seasonal changes affect our wardrobes our food palate tends to transform as well. Hopefully the summer has inclined you to still have a fashionable appetite, whether it be to wear vivacious colour or indulge in soles of new heights.
But, just because it’s summer doesn’t mean that you have to trade in your decadent cravings! Let’s talk food!
A must try! Sturgeon with honey and ouzo (Source)

There’s one thing that I love about summer other than donning lightweight apparel and that’s seasonal cuisine … well, delicious seasonal cuisine in general! Enjoying the bite of fresh salads, grilled entrees, and washing all of that succulence down with citrus beverages (poolside, of course) is quite a treat!

Perhaps, you might even need a jolt of food influence to help you with summer entertaining. Here it is!
My favourite: Le Gruyère Cheese Plate with Figs *I also like this with Manchego cheese. (Source)
Flaky puff pastry mushroom puffs (Source)
Here’s tasty visuals of inspiration, food that I’ve saved in my food for thought Pinterest board to tryout for gatherings that I will be hosting this summer. These are merely dollops of happiness for the epicure. Enjoy!
