3L SYNDROME: brunch by The 3L Syndrome

This weekend we helped 2 young women of 30 celebrate the start of a new era with a special brunch for their friends and family. They are into dance movies - so we did a subtle Dirty Dancing / Grease theme.

For the food we focused mainly on what they liked to see on their special buffet and we came up with this menu:

Mimosa

Fresh still lemonade with ginger, mint, lemon, lime, rhubarb bitters and pomegranate

Home made mini cheese burgers

Italian penne salad with rocket salad, sundried tomatoes, pine nuts and green pesto

New York Style bagel with a poached egg, herby cream cheese, smoked salmon and baby spinach

Morroccan bread with 3 different home made dips: red beet / hummus /sesame - red bell pepper / hummus & grilled vegetables tapenade.

Assorted cheese and cold cuts

Pecan Danish

Greek yoghurt with homemade granola

Winter fruit salad with kiwi, apple, pear, clementines and pomegranate

American super fluffy pancakes with maple syrup

(Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of our tasty burgers and bagel - grrrr)

Happy Birthday, Girls!

Now that December has started, I thought this would be a good time to look back on this past year.

At the end of last year, I felt the need to take The world of The 3L Syndrome a step further with doing what we love: cooking and organising small events. We did a little try out last winter and I really liked the feeling it gave me and the energy I got from it. Of course the week before each event, I'm stressed and I think: Why am I doing this again? But when it is over, it really gives me this feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. I love putting menu's together and thinking about the location, the decoration and the small touches I like to add to every single event. 2016 was the year of brunches, dinners, aperitivo's, picnics, musical afternoons and parties and we are already excited for what is to come in 2017. Thanks for your support this year and we hope to see you next year again at one of our events.
