Cottage Foods & Mealtimes

When packing to head up to the cottage, you are undoubtedly planning to keep it simple - streamlined meals that can be easily prepared and enjoyed without the formality of a Sunday dinner. But there is something to be said for a well thought-out dinner party on the deck with all the accoutrements - fine wine, candles, maybe even slipcovers for the chairs.

Your cottage kitchen may consist of an old wood stove or have all the amenities including microwave and salamander. Whatever your style, meals at the cottage should always involve laughter and love, good friends and good food.
