On Sundays, we brunch. Read on for inspiration for every spring gathering, complete with make-it-your-own recipes and chic tableware.
Babes Who Brunch
On the Menu
Ricotta-avocado toast to serve when the ladies arrive. Individual omelets with seasonal greens that are simple to whip up, keep your stove time to a minimum, and can be customized to particular tastes.
In the Glasses
Beauty & the Brut (pink coconut water with sparkling wine for heady hydration). A pretty pot of loose dried flowering sage tea.
On the Table
Cool vintage-inspired florals and traditional porcelain motifs in jewel tones modernize the ladies-who-lunch vibe.
Breakfast for Two
On the Menu
Soft-boiled farmers’ market eggs topped with American caviar feels special without breaking the bank. Toasted soldiers add a satisfying crunch, and make-ahead grapefruit compote is pretty and refreshing.
In the Glasses
Bubbly with pomegranate seeds in your finest stemware looks extra festive—and is an invite to linger in bed all afternoon.
On the Table
Fancy linens, brass flatware, and heirloom-in-the-making tableware delivered via cocktail tray with a side of Sunday crossword.
The All-Day Graze
On the Menu
Crusty breads with cheese, charcuterie, and potted terrine allow for build-your-own-bites. Fresh, bright melon spritzed with lime adds extra zing. Family-style roasted tomato tart that tastes just as delicious when cool.
In the Glasses
A light saffron-honey sparkler that guests (and hosts) can dip into throughout the afternoon as a “healthy” libation.
On the Table
Colored glassware and mix-and-match pieces pulled from various sets create fun pattern combinations.
