What’s on the menu
The guide is designed to generously serve 10 people, with plenty of food for seconds.
Brunch with Friends begins with espresso jellies and a Bloody Mary station where guests build their own glass alongside freshly shucked oysters and crispy rashers of bacon. Two kinds of scrolls arrive warm from the oven — cinnamon and brown butter, and matcha and white chocolate — filling the kitchen with exactly the smell a weekend morning should have.
The centrepiece is the Savoury Sandwich Cake: a Scandinavian Smörgåstårta built from homemade white bread, layered with cucumber and dill cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers, and vine-ripened tomatoes, then iced in a whipped mayo-cream cheese frosting and decorated with heirloom tomatoes, radishes, and fresh herbs. It looks like a celebration cake. It tastes like the best brunch you have ever had. Make it the night before, bring it to the table whole, and slice it in front of your guests - the layered cross-section is a moment worth waiting for.
From there, baked eggs in a spiced tomato sauce with feta and herbs go straight from oven to table, and a sweet Dutch baby - puffed golden and dramatic from a screaming hot pan - arrives pooled with cardamom cream, and piled with roasted stone fruit.
This guide includes: A complete, cohesive menu designed to be cooked together → One consolidated shopping list with total quantities across all dishes → Individual recipes with clear, detailed steps → A timed, step-by-step cooking guide so everything lands at once → Wine pairing recommendations → printable menu for the table
