We had a bright and cheery brunch with the classic fresh bagels and lox adorned with fresh veggies tossed in dressing with a pinch of salt and pepper. It was a very typical, and thus comforting brunch amongst friends and family. The atmosphere was lively and lighthearted, facilitated by a family style meal with all the characteristic bites.
We also included local, flavorful fruit, washed, cut, and presented ready to eat. It was a refreshing touch to punctuate bagels and cream cheese. To give the palate a bit of warmth, we whipped cage-free eggs and poured them over garlic-roasted potatoes with cream and caramelized onions to make for a delightful potato frittata.
The only items that weren’t part of the family style set up was dessert and beverages. Of course, the former brought everyone together in a different area of the hall. We put out
heavy and thick fudge brownies with chocolate ganache, raspberry bars, and gingersnap cookies with just the right kick.
The whole meal was centered around, or rather complimented, by a bouquet of roses that flawlessly blended a continuum of coral, peach, and ivory into a sweet little bunch on the center of each table.
